UDisks/DeviceKit-disks does not support the old ide(-cd) subsystem. One reason is, that ide-cd does not provide any uevents on media changes. I wrote a patch for Debian [1] which pokes the device and fakes uevents if it detects media changes. You might be interested in porting that patch to UDisks.
