On that page is a link to
http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=hal.git;a=blob_plain;f=doc/spec/hal-spec.html#device-properties-portable_audio_player
which I think you missed - it describes all the HAL keys.

I'm not sure about putting the owner/device name in the file.  The
.is_audio_player file is really a crutch for devices that aren't
recognized by HAL, and I'm hesitant to encourage its widespread use by
putting features in it that aren't otherwise available.  I'd prefer a
cleaner solution, but maybe there isn't one.
