[hardy] mp3 players only get recognized as usb disk (Duplicate of 209276)

[gi-orca]

Binary package hint: hal-info

Due to the section at the bottom of the

/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-usb-music-players.fdi

file where it states

   <!-- Set common keys for detected audio player if you have special cases add the player below this match -->
    <match key="portable_audio_player.type" exists="true">
      <match key="portable_audio_player.access_method.protocols" contains="storage">
       ...
      </match>
      <append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">portable_audio_player</append>
      <merge key="info.category" type="string">portable_audio_player</merge>
      <!-- all player in the list above support this output format -->
      <append key="portable_audio_player.output_formats" type="strlist">audio/mpeg</append>
    </match>

and most player description lacking the "portable_audio_player.type" key;
 they only get detected as flash disk

I resolved it for myself by adding
  <append key="portable_audio_player.type" type="string">generic</append>
to my players section
but I don't think it a satisfactory solution, to add this key to all player descriptions
