Well, (last time I checked) Banshee didn't support the Karma directly as a
DAP, and so what I've been doing is a workaround for that drawback (easier
to mount the drive and import it as files than go through the other
libkarma/plugin/HAL rigamarole that may or may not work, which seems to be
still going on). I don't think there needs to be a special case for the
Karma (mine is close to the end of it's life anyway, and there can't be many
left out there).

Maybe I'll just give the Karma plugin stuff another try.  It didn't seem to
work out of the box for 1.4.  Was it ever able to play directly off of the
Karma, or does one just have to import everything?
