Well, yes, it's used... but wrongly in most places. It's only used if the 
medium is a dvd video, otherwise it's never used. Hence why 
media-optical-video-dvd would make more sense to me... But as I said we 
probably have enough icons to make to live with media-optical, 
media-optical-audio and media-optical-video only.

Yup, I agree here, it would open the door to have all combinations of 
drive-optical-(dvd|bluray|hddvd) and even more in the future.

As I told: fine with me. I believe only media-optical, media-optical-audio and 
media-optical-video are needed anyway.

I'd say it'd be suitable for a wiki page maybe?
