           Summary: [alsa] alsasrc and alsasink should expose card name
                    via propery
    Classification: Desktop
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.30
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-base

Today, the alsasrc and alsasink elements have a property "device-name" which
reveals the ALSA device name (which ultimately comes from the ALSA function
snd_pcm_info_get_name).  They should have an additional property "card-name"
exposing the ALSA card name (from snd_ctl_card_info_get_name).

For example, on my machine the device name for hw:1,0 is "USB Audio", which is
currently visible via GStreamer.  The card name is "FastTrack Pro"; I'd like to
be able to get this string too.  This would be useful for GStreamer
applications which want to present descriptive ALSA device names to the user.
