Yep, I got five "1"

/dev/sr0
/dev/sr1
/dev/sdb
/dev/sdc
/dev/sdd


However,  udisks --inhibit-polling /dev/sr0 seems to let you stop polling on 
only one disk. I managed to stop all polling by starting five terminals. I'm 
a little worried at starting udisks --inhibit-all-polling as I am not sure 
what and why is being polled, but assuming only the five disks found before 
would be affected, I could try that.
