Yeah, take you're time. Maybe it's easier  to have mplayer or which
ever media player wait for the drive. i.g.
under OSX, the media player pauses until the drive does it's thing,
and then resumes.(but this would be for the suspend aspect)
As for the live distro part I'd have to think as well. Let me know
what you think.
