For the iPod, we need to know if an iPod is plugged, but more
importantly, it needs to be mounted, and rhythmbox needs to know where
it is mounted. Can HAL help for that ? ie is it possible to know things
like « there's an iPod plugged in, and its partitions are /dev/sda1
and /dev/sda2 » ? gnome-vfs can then be used to know if it's mounted and
where.

Thanks,

Christophe
