The iPod extension doesn't touch the device if a .is_audio_player file
is present in the root directory. You need this becuase it helps people
configure album_art size (look at how the dap plugin does this, this was
explicitely designed for rockbox). 

Please, rather add a field to the is_audio_player that has something
like is_rockbox or better even rockbox_version (in case we need to deal
with compatibility issues in the future). If that field is present, use
rockbox extension.

Is your code public somewhere so people can have a look? In any case,
thanks for your work.

Best Wishes,
