           Summary: audiosinks happily go to GST_STATE_READY if device does
                    not exist
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-base

Several applications use a GST_STATE_NULL_TO_READY state-change to check whether
a device exists; they do this because it works in 0.8.x and because the
application development manual documents this state change as intended for
opening non-stream resources (such as opening audio devices).

In HEAD/0.9, however, the device is only opened when a caps is negotiated, which
degrades performance and makes the above not work.
