It's not a problem with FreeBSD that I can tell. It's appears to just be
what the drive returns for a stop command.
I've got a similar Plextor 12X drive, and it does the same thing.
I've got a Panasonic DVD-RAM drive that does something different:
# cdcontrol play
cdcontrol: no CD device name specified, defaulting to /dev/cd0c
# cdcontrol status
cdcontrol: no CD device name specified, defaulting to /dev/cd0c
Audio status = 17<playing>, current track = 1, current position = 0:03.23
Media catalog is inactive
Left volume = 255, right volume = 255
# cdcontrol stop
cdcontrol: no CD device name specified, defaulting to /dev/cd0c
# cdcontrol status
cdcontrol: no CD device name specified, defaulting to /dev/cd0c
Audio status = 19<completed>, current track = 1, current position = 0:15.25
Media catalog is inactive
Left volume = 255, right volume = 255
# cdcontrol status
cdcontrol: no CD device name specified, defaulting to /dev/cd0c
Audio status = 21<void>, current track = 1, current position = 0:15.25
Media catalog is inactive
Left volume = 255, right volume = 255
Anyway, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I would suggest using xmcd for a GUI cd player. It works very well with
Plextor CDROM drives. (At least every one I've tried.)
