I don't thing this device is "a volume of a storage or distribution medium". It has a purpose besides distribution.

Compare it to the Kororaa Project [1]

Great. So put the flash player package on an SD card that comes with the
device, and have the user install it himself.

So most of the Linux PC sold with a distribution including non free software wouldn't be compliant ... That's pushing it far.

The Kororaa article talks about kernel drivers, not software depending in no way to GPL software.
