It does but there is a catch. Even though it has no notion of sessions,
to ensure compatibility with DVD-ROM drives it's recommended to issue
close session command to terminate/suspend background formatting (if in
progress, but you basically never know as far as I understand) whenever
you want to eject the media or simply stop writing and want better read
performance (e.g. remount filesystem read-only). A.
