remove "ignore_device"
There is no way to ignore an event these days. Libudev events can
not be suppressed. It only prevents RUN keys from being executed,
which results in an inconsistent behavior in current setups.

cdrom_id: Still check profiles even if there is no media
Even when there is no medium in the drive, we should still check the
profiles supported by the drive. Otherwise we fail to detect things
like Blu-ray drives. See
After discussing this with Kay we decided to drop this again as by-id
links only make sense for devices that have a unique serial id. If they
don't any attempts to make them unique have the side effect of
nourishing assumptions by users that cannot be met, as the by-id device
link of a device could differ depending on the history of simultaneously
plugged in device.
So, to make sure that all device nodes follow the same rules for by-id/
symlinks, drop this patch again.

If two USB sound cards that have the same serial number are plugged in

gudev: Fix up GUdevDeviceNumber
Actually dev_t is an unsigned quad type (e.g. 64-bit even on 32-bit
x86) so defining it to be an integer is wrong and not future
proof. Thus, redefine it to actually be a dev_t (as originally wanted)
and instead add a work-around for GNOME bug #584517, see
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=584517
for details. This way, GObject Introspection will still work.
This change is technically an API/ABI break but
- all released GUdev versions requires the user to understand that
the API/ABI is unstable by requiring the G_UDEV_API_IS_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE
symbols to be defined
- functions using GUdevDeviceNumber are rarely used
sound: include ALSA sound card id in ID_ID property
If two USB sound cards that have the same serial number are plugged in

The previous patch was almost, but not quite, correct. Rather than

anyway).
