I've just posted a new version of the "generic player sync support"
patch on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76528

With that applied I can transfer files my audio player, and have them
transcoded automatically to the "best"[0] supported audio format. The
only issue I've found is that we currently detect MP3 files as
"application/x-id3" rather than "audio/mpeg", so they get re-encoded
from MP3 to MP3 when you move them.

It also doesn't do automatic syncing yet either.


[0] "best" is defined to be the first one in the list HAL gives us, that
the user has a gnome-media encoding profile for.
