Fails to auto-mount YP-U2R music player as USB storage

[Alex Bennée]

Binary package hint: hal-info

Usually this works once and then fails on future insertions. Occasionally the device will mount if the machine is under heavy load which may indicate some sort of race.

Looking at gnome-volume-manager it's fairly clear why it doesn't proceed:

Looking at the hal info:

However I'm not sure where hal comes up with these values or why it works and then fails.
