I'd delegate this work to another tool or daemon, to keep the mountwatcher 
replacement simple enough. Autoplaying will be easy to implement by querying 
the new ioslave for example, and monitoring changes on specific "file" 
entries.

I currently have an implementation for this, that will surely need to be 
refined... That's why I'm pushing hard to publish my work as soon as possible 
to be able to discuss this.

But, I had some troubles with my server recently... It just died... since it 
was my gateway to the internet, it explains my delay to answer to this 
interesting thread! ;-)

I'm not sure how to do this yet... Or we use a trick declaring the device 
already mounted, or we add another flag...
