no, you should place it in /boot/home/config/add-ons/media

On BeOS and Zeta, appeareantly only nodes the mixer node, and one
node thas has physical outputs and is connected to the mixer get
instantiated.
Additionally, nodes that return true from WantsAutoStart() are also
instantiated. Be careful, the BeBook documents the function signature=20
wrong, it must be:
virtual	bool WantsAutoStart();

For Haiku, this comment should describe what happens. Contrary to R5,
it will instantiate all physical input/outputs.

	// During startup, first all add-ons are loaded, then all
	// nodes (flavors) representing physical inputs and outputs
	// are instantiated. Next, all add-ons that need autostart
	// will be autostarted. Finally, add-ons that don't have
	// any active nodes (flavors) will be unloaded.
