While I agree that using "notify::source" isn't very hard, I would say that
having support for the device name in cdda:// URIs would be extremely useful.

Many GStreamer-using applications that deal with cd audio will probably want a
method for uniquely representing the tracks which, because of how everything
else is represented, will virtually always be URIs - because it's how other
resources are represented. Having gstreamer deal with these, rather than each
application writing the own (incompatible) hacks to magically change their URI
into a gstreamer URI and property, would make things a lot more consistent.

I dont buy the argument that being able tchange the properties is enough -
after all you have elements that accept URIs like "http://host:port/path", you
don't have to pass "http://path" and set the host and port seperately.
