Taking potential ISOs and weird device nodes (/dev/hdc/8) into account, the
mplayer scheme is very reasonable. 

Ronald: how is being able to specify the device from which you wish to play a
track on a CD in a URI any different than specifying an asboltue path to a file
on a disk in a URI? It's a _path_ to the track, a map to a piece of playable media.

I'm not saying remove notify::source. I'm saying the URI support should be there
to _supplement_ this. If a device node is specified in a URI and notify::source
sets the device node on the source, the notify::source set should then probably
override the device node in the URI.

Ronald: I'm also not saying notify::source is hard to use. Yes it's 5 lines of
code, so what. Here's a nother angle: gst-launch playbin uri="cdda://8/dev/hdc"
... hmm...

As for the consumer argument, I was not talking about an end user, I was talking
about the consumer of the GStreamer framework, which happens to be the
application ... using GStreamer, and I can tell you, my application does in fact
happen to know what a device node is!
