Re: Adding new keys to GSettings registry during runtime.

[Osmo Antero <osmoma gmail com>]

Ok, I found a simple solution.

I simply defined a string array for each device type. The key is the 
device type (enum value).

    <!-- From audio-sources.h -->
    <!-- DeviceType: NOT_DEFINED 0x0-->
    <key name="device-type-0" type="as">
      <default>[]</default>
    </key>

    <!-- DeviceType: DEFAULT_DEVICE 0x1 -->
    <key name="device-type-1" type="as">
      <default>[]</default>
    </key>

    <!-- DeviceType: AUDIO_SINK 0x2 -->
    <key name="device-type-2" type="as">
      <default>[]</default>
    </key>

    ...
  </schema>

It's not very elegant but works just fine.
I could have used enumeration <enum id="myenum" ...> but I need the 
string array type (type="as") to store a list of device ids that come 
from pulseaudio/gstreamer.

So long.
