[PATCH] Sound device configuration

[Jürg Billeter <j bitron ch>]

Hi

As it's currently not possible to choose a specific ALSA sound device in
a sane way, I've created some patches to fix that. Essentially, I've
added a HAL-based sound device chooser to the sound capplet and made the
appropriate changes to gst-plugins-good. This should bring manual
editing of custom gstreamer pipelines in gstreamer-properties to an end.

This is obviously GNOME 2.15/2.16 material but I'd like to get early
comments whether my proposed direction makes sense, so we can finally
realize the solution in the 2.15/2.16 timeframe without hurry.

Bugzilla entries with attached patches

Any comments or suggestions?

Regards,

Jürg
