Hi, with the next HAL package (v0.5.12) for STABLE/Factory (including the next beta) some keys/properties get removed from HAL because they are deprecated and marked since more than 6 months in the SPEC to get removed on 2008-05-03. The effected keys/properties are: - portable_audio_player.access_method - portable_audio_player.type Both keys are replaced by: - portable_audio_player.access_method.[drivers, protocols] Check the HAL spec for more information. Please check your HAL consuming applications (incl. may shipped FDI files) and updated them if needed to prevent bugreports/problems with the new HAL package.
