Package: guayadeque
Version: 0.3.7~ds0-2.1
Severity: normal

If I use either pmount or udevil to mount a USB stick, Guayadeque
does not detect it as removable media.  Pmount creates a mount point
like /media/sdb1.  Udevil is configured on my system to create a mount
point like /media/$USER/$LABEL.  But Guayadeque does not detect
either one.

USB detection worked prior to making systemd the default.  I did not
move to systemd, but stuck with sysvinit.  

This drastically reduces the functionality of Guayadeque for me, as
my primary use case is transcoding flac files and copying them to 
USB stick for use in a car stereo which doesn't support flac.  USB 
detection worked fine until a short time after systemd became Debian's 
default.  

I had been using pcmanfm to mount my USB sticks.  That in turn uses
gvfs, which eventually tried to change my init system to systemd.  I 
opted instead to use spacefm which uses either udevil or pmount to 
mount USB sticks.  Udevil even mounts them to the same mount point as 
pcmanfm/gvfs would have, but Guayadeque doesn't seem to notice.

Great media player, by the way.  I switched from Rhythmbox a couple 
years back because Guayadeque has better control/configurability of 
transcoding options, and I like its interface better than the recent 
versions of Rhythmbox.
