Description Stephane Loeuillet 2004-04-30 01:59:22 UTC 
it's a reminder for ronald (i already talked to him about this)

the idea is to replace the 4 current listboxes by their equivalent in
gst-recorder properties.

gst-recorder one also provides all v4l & alsa devices, not just the default one
far few people would have to enter a custom value.

If I've understood this bug properly, I've run into it too. The current
"Multimedia Selector" capplet lets the user choose between source and sink
plugins (something the 'normal' user probably doesn't care about). However, the
only way to chose anything but the system's default device on the default
soundcard is to understand enough about gstreamer to add the requisite options
to a custom source or sink line.

The important thing in the common case is for users with multiple output devices
be presented with a listbox to choose their output device, and that those
options use human-readable strings, not raw device names. "Plantronics Headset"
not "hw:3,0" or "/dev/dsp3".

Ideally this same information should be available in gconf so even non-gstreamer
applications (like for example esd) can access it.
