I can confirm this bug. I have found that immediately upon plugging my iRiver iFP-780 player into a usb port the rhythmbox application is launched automatically. However there is no obvious way to access my player from rhythmbox. From a terminal the output is as follows:

jonathan@gideon$ ifp ls
Device is busy. (I was unable to claim its interface.)
jonathan@gideon$ sudo ifp ls

wrn: [ifp_delta] interesting, there were only 4 bytes.
Detected: model IFP-780, firmware 1.21, battery =[####], delta 1.0.0.0

Browsing the Debian bug database I found this bug reported there as Bug Report #355051. The bug is marked as closed with the upload of libifp version 1.0.0.2-3

The bug report also contains this comment:
You also need udev > 0.079-080+1, which contains the up-to-date udev rules for ensuring the device has the
proper permissions.

Is there any chance of getting these bug fixes into the dapper repositories? I can access my player using sudo but obviously I would prefer not to use root privileges if I don't have to.

Thanks for your help,
