According to this bug report:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=187730
"had the very same problem with esound: I enabled auto spawn in esound
(/etc/esound/esd.conf; auto_spawn=1) and it just works as expected :-)"
So apparently a problem with esound default's configuration ...

g-v-m has a "Removable storage" place, I think it handles usb sticks
(anybody to confirm ?)

Let's calm down. We have no time/interest to fork the file selector.
First we should continue to discuss upstream in 136541 to fix the issue.

I don't know, I've just got half of the thread in my box and read it
quickly. BTW you should not juge on what some guys said but rather have
a look on what most of GNOME Team guys are doing (ie: in the BTS,
bugzilla, list, ...). And since you probably don't have time to loose in
the BTS just for that, let me say it: we communicate with upstreams
(bugzilla, lists, ...) and try to work with them to solve the problems.
