HAL not recognize correctly Cowon iAudio F2

[Gianvito Cavasoli]

Binary package hint: hal-info

Cowon iAudio F2 audio player is recognized by hal as a generic USB Mass Storage Device rather than a Media Player. The problem is in the file "/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-usb-music-players.fdi", F2 is in Archos brand and not in Cowon brand:

 <!-- Archos -->
 <match key="@storage.originating_device:usb.vendor_id" int="0xe79">
          <!-- iAudio F2 -->
          <match key="@storage.physical_device:usb.product_id" int="0x730">
            <append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">portable_audio_player</append>
            <merge key="info.category" type="string">portable_audio_player</merge>

            <append key="portable_audio_player.playlist_path" type="string">PLAYLIST/%File</append>
          </match>

I have changed and put it under cowon brand, now work perfectly (rhythmbox recognize it):

 <!-- Cowon -->
 <match key="@storage.originating_device:usb.vendor_id" int="0xe21">
          <!-- iAudio F2 -->
          <match key="@storage.physical_device:usb.product_id" int="0x730">
            <append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">portable_audio_player</append>

            <merge key="portable_audio_player.access_method" type="string">storage</merge>
            <merge key="portable_audio_player.storage_device" type="copy_property">info.udi</merge>

In feisty now the F2 definition is correct and works fine.

I can confirm that it has been fixed upstream by looking at :
http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=hal-info.git;a=blob;f=fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-usb-music-players.fdi

Marking it as Fix Released
