handle non usb mass storage devices

Hi!

I own a sansa fuze v2 player, with rockbox, and use a micro-SD card in this device as the main storage place to put my music on. The advantage oh this method is that a micro-SD card with a SD adapter can be read on my computer without supplementary cables (which is a good thing, as the USB cable for this player has a proprietary connector...)

I wanted to try banshee and use this SD card as my sync device, but a found a different behaviour on a Dell box (where the SD card is handled by the usb storage kernel layer, because the SD card reader is an USB device), and on a X220 thinkpad, where the SD card is handled by the MMC layer.

So, after looking a bit at the source code, I found that the MassStorageSource class makes the assumption that a mass storage device is always tied to an usb device. This very simple workaround seems to work for me : it allows me to see my SD card, via the mmc layer on the thinkpad, as a rockbox device in banshee.
