Actually, the Icon Naming spec is supposed to make all this a non-issue;
the way it's supposed to work is something like

 multimedia-player-dell-dj-pocket
 multimedia-player-ipod-U2-color
 multimedia-player-motorola-rokr

which is already in tango-icon-theme-extras. The scheme used is

 multimedia-player-<vendor>-<product>

FWIW, GTK+ already supports fallbacks so e.g. the first entry will fall
back this way

 multimedia-player-dell-dj-pocket
 multimedia-player-dell-dj
 multimedia-player-dell
 multimedia-player

e.g. we'll pick icons in that order. So I think we should definitely do
this.
