Can't give options to audiosink, videosink, audiosrc, and videosrc in GConf keys

If I attempt to set any option on the sinks with the GConf keys (like setting audiosink to "alsasink device=hw:0,1") it thinks the option is part of the plugin's name and fails.
You haven't specified where it fails. I suspect it is rhythmbox, and rhythmbox needs to be fixed. In any case, specificaiton of options is supported and encouraged, and apps need to use our gstgconf library for it.
