Since the migration to gio, rhythmbox apparently needs devices to be
already mounted *in gvfs* to see it.  However, I don’t know of a daemon
that can do the job apart from nautilus.  This is a design issue that
affects non-GNOME users quite badly.  This is probably not something we
can fix at the Debian level, so I suggest that you talk about it with
upstream.

Thanks for the notice, as this is outdated; gnome-volume-manager still
handles some devices, but not the mountable ones, which are in the hands
of nautilus.  I’ll fix the document.
