hal version is 0.5.12

you mean info.subsystem?

i want to find ums devices that are audio players, which means searching 
for storage.bus == usb, doesn't it? if i look at the Mass Storage Drive 
entry in gnome-device-manager for my Samsung YP-P3, there is no entry 
for info.subsystem.

but in any case, this doesn't deal with the problem i am facing. 
hal-info doesn't consistently show the same originating_device every 
time i plug the device in.
