Hi.
I've got more information, so I reopened the bug.
$ lsusb | grep 1008
Bus 005 Device 012: ID 4102:1008 iRiver, Ltd. iFP-800 series mp3/ogg vorbis
player
There's a lack of permissions that cause the device not work, but for
root. So the device won't work neither with amarok, nor ifp command line
utility.
I've added this rule and all seems to be fine now
/etc/udev/rules.d/52-iriver.rules:
--------------------------------------------------8<----------------------------------------------
# iRiver IFP-800 series
SYSFS{idProduct}=="4102", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1008", MODE="660", GROUP="plugdev"
--------------------------------------------------8<----------------------------------------------
This is still truth for current gutsy.
