Ok, since I'm an open-source developper myself, I'm pretty conscious just
posting the report won't get me the feature ;-)

Here are a few pointers on what should be done, with indications how when I
know.

(1) the current dv1394src doesn't provide the user-friendly name

This doesn't look that hard to add : there's already a call to
rom1394_get_directory in the node discovery. It's just a matter of using
rom_dir.label and storing it somewhere (a "device-name" property sounds nice).

(2) The current dv1394src doesn't have PropertyProbe introspection

I don't know exactly how this works, but I guess factoring out the current
detection code would help here : the property probing should be able to return
a list of either directly the port, or the ports as-uri.

Does that sound sane ?
