I just bought an 8GB Fuze today. The current 10-usb-music-player.fdi on Intrepid is wrong. It needs to include 0x74c1 as the USB pid. You can also see 0x74c1 in Rob's listing. It also omits mp3 as a supported format! (The Clip also supports MP3). Actually the listing of supported formats across all Sansa devices in the .fdi file seems rather messy.

Sandisk do push their firmware updates heavily and their earlier releases were somewhat buggy so my preference would be to optimise for current firmware (ie Ogg, Flac support) vs the older stuff.

Doing a firmware upgrade is easy. Under Windows you run their updater software. Under Linux & Mac you place a single file in the root directory of the device and unplug from your computer. So if someone with old firmware ended up with Ogg/Flac files on their device and they didn't play, copying one more file and unplugging would be easy.
