Bug Description

Binary package hint: hal

I have an Olympus DS-2 voice recorder, which can record in the WMA format. It is detected and mounted as a USB drive by HAL. I would like to be able to play and import files from it in a sound/music manager, and it seems natural to automatically launch the music-manager when the device is connected. I have modified 10-usb-music-players.fdi, including the following entry:

 <!-- Olympus DS-2 Voice Recorder -->
 <match key="@storage.physical_device:usb.vendor_id" int="0x07b4">
          <match key="@storage.physical_device:usb.product_id" int="0x020e">
     <append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">portable_audio_player</append>
            <merge key="info.category" type="string">portable_audio_player</merge>
            <merge key="portable_audio_player.type" type="string">generic</merge>
            <merge key="portable_audio_player.access_method" type="string">storage</merge>
            <merge key="portable_audio_player.storage_device" type="copy_property">info.udi</merge>
            <append key="portable_audio_player.output_formats" type="strlist">audio/x-ms-wma</append>
          </match>
        </match>

Perhaps though it would be better to have a separate category of voice-recorder type devices, which are able to launch something different from what, for example, an Ipod would launch when connected?
