Monitor read/write activity of optical drives (WIN32)?

I need to monitor the read/write state of optical drives efficiently in real-time, preferably using native WIN32 calls (I want to avoid WMI etc. if poss).

For physical disks, DeviceIoControl() with IOCTL_DISK_PERFORMANCE works well, but it doesn't seem to be supported for optical drives. Google has suggestions for tray status monitoring, but I also need current bytes read/written counters (or at least basic read/write activity indication).

Is there way?
