One solution would be to add a "factory_settings" module argument to module-default-device-restore: if no database file exists when the module is loaded, it would read the initial database from the factory settings file. I'd like that solution (I'm sure there are many alternatives), because I think such functionality is really needed for the various restore modules. In Maemo we needed that for module-stream-restore, so there's now the fallback_table module argument. I don't like the implementation details too much, though - I think "factory_settings" would be a more descriptive argument name, and the file format could be better (there are several things that module-stream-restore handles, but the fallback table can only configure volumes). The ini-style format of the general configuration parser could probably be used. -- Tanu
