I really should have paid more attention before ACKing some of the
patches. :) Here is the problem introduced by this one:

With volume and system ID being identical for both medias, only the
first media will be matched against both types of medias. Same goes
for other medias you added in this patch. Wonder what could be a
solution here though. Perhaps detection code should check if there is
multiple matches and it there are, match basename of known URL against
that of media's patch?
