I am not sure how hal-dbus/kde is handling those icons. Check the kde 
controlcentre under Desktop - Behaviour - Device Icons to see if kde is using 
that. If it is enabled then you may possibly only need to tick the "Mounted 
Removable Medium" option as their is no specific option for flash music 
players; they would most likely come under that.
 It is likely though that since thsi whole system is so new that you will need 
to wait for a new release or else learn a bit about hal-dbus technology from 
freedesktop.org since however it is automounting correctly under hal my first 
comment may be all that is necessary or else you may just need to add your 
device under the /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap file.
