Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hal
I have an Olympus DS-2 voice recorder, which can record in the WMA
format. It is detected and mounted as a USB drive by HAL. I would like
to be able to play and import files from it in a sound/music manager,
and it seems natural to automatically launch the music-manager when the
device is connected. I have modified 10-usb-music-players.fdi,
including the following entry:
<!-- Olympus DS-2 Voice Recorder -->
<match key="@storage.physical_device:usb.vendor_id" int="0x07b4">
<match key="@storage.physical_device:usb.product_id" int="0x020e">
<append key="info.capabilities"
type="strlist">portable_audio_player</append>
<merge key="info.category"
type="string">portable_audio_player</merge>
<merge key="portable_audio_player.type"
type="string">generic</merge>
<merge key="portable_audio_player.access_method"
type="string">storage</merge>
<merge key="portable_audio_player.storage_device"
type="copy_property">info.udi</merge>
<append key="portable_audio_player.output_formats"
type="strlist">audio/x-ms-wma</append>
</match>
</match>
Perhaps though it would be better to have a separate category of voice-
recorder type devices, which are able to launch something different from
what, for example, an Ipod would launch when connected?
