a libary that can ask hald for a list of surten devices

[Kristof Vansant]

I was thinking a common libary that can ask hald for surten hardware.
This could be interresting for surten programme's.

example: totem has an menuitem dvd and cdrom

if totem could ask the common libary to ask hald what media devices are
installed. totem can only show these devices. totem does not need to
have hald support itself.

And other apps can also use this libary then, instead of putting hald
support in each app.

get_scanners()
get_dvd()
get_cdrom()
get_cdr()
get_keyboards()
etc ...
