Mock-up of the GUI

This is a feature I'd very much like to see in Rhythmbox. The existing sync capabilities (sync whole library,
certain playlists, podcasts... ) are quite nice. However, you have to manually right-click on the device and press "Sync" every time.

Solution: Implement a checkbox in the device properties allowing you to let Rhythmbox automatically start syncing the device when you connect it.

I've attached a mock-up of the GUI.

I wanted to create a Plugin to achieve this behaviour. I figured that I have to use the signal "medium-added" of RBRemovableMediaManager. But I have no idea how to actually start the sync process from a plugin.
