Ubuntu doesn't recognize RCA/Lyra TH1501 as music device

To get your fix included in Ubuntu, it would help if you tried transforming it into a debdiff (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff) and submit it for review (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess). If you prefer somebody else to do that, that's fine - please just indicate if you're available to do that.

I'd like to try it, just a couple of questions, which version of the package should I use to create the debdiff? feisty or hardy? I must get the .dsc files from packages.ubuntu.com, right?

Fix committed, will upload to Hardy soon.

I forwarded this to upstream, too.

This bug was fixed in the package hal-info - 20080215-1ubuntu1
