Who is going to fix what and when? Jeff did not even reply the last two
weeks to the simple question why he added this filter, and why events
need to dropped if something wants to send them. :)

These events are for non-AN devices, which we still poll for media
changes. Userspace wants the same kind of events for both types of
devices.

We are currently working on a the next generation of the storage part of
the hal daemon, which needs these events. So it would be nice, if we can
make them working now, like they worked with Kristens original patches.

Thanks,
