I have been spending some time patching Banshee for Android to work -
so, I got to know the code a bit.  I had an old ipod, I put rockbox on,
as well, and was able to get it to work marvelously with Banshee by
including the file .is_audio_player on the iPod root directory.  You
CANNOT leave it empty though as was suggested above.  The file should
contain:

audio_folders=Music/,Videos/
video_folders=Videos/
folder_depth=2
output_formats=application/ogg,audio/x-ms-wma,audio/mpeg,audio/mp4,audio/x-wav
playlist_format=audio/x-mpegurl
playlist_path=Playlists/
cover_art_file_name=cover.jpg
cover_art_file_type=jpeg
cover_art_size=320

It works great - it syncs music, podcasts, video, coverart (you need
rockbox 3.0) and playlists (to Music/Playlists directory) perfectly.

I could easily write a patch for Banshee to have it look for .rockbox
and then automatically use these settings.  But, I don't think it is a
good idea because a lot of rockbox users dual boot with the original
iPod firmware and still want to sync the iPod db with banshee.  If you
want to sync to Rockbox instead, add that file.
