Well, nearly clean would be this code:

The defines are Linux specific, but could be handled by ifdef/autoconf checks.
Solaris has fstatvfs() and probably similar magic constants.

BOOL
is_on_cdrom(int fd) {
    struct statfs buf;

    if (-1==fstatfs(fd,&buf))
	return FALSE;
    return ((buf.f_type == ISOFS_SUPER_MAGIC)||(buf.f_type == UDF_SUPER_MAGIC));
}
