But, if you just take a look at quirks in the concerned file, you will see many time the same quirk for similar mp3 player. I think that the proliferation of OEM mp3 products with different identifying strings is in large part cause for this. It's seems that the DA_Q_NO_SYNC_CACHE quirk is the most common, could it be possible to activate it by default for some reasonable set of devices (I don't know if we can identify them by other means than id string ... ) ? It could save a lot of time, make work a lot of existing and forthcoming mp3 players. The existing solution and the situation of OEM mp3 players ensure us that there will always be an unsuported devices on the market at any time. The fact that it make the system panic is _annoying_ (in place of other ugly expression, my english is poor.) This is not an attack, just my 2cc remark. -- Burelle Marwan, Equipe Bases de Donnees - LRI http://www.cduce.org ([EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED])
