           Summary: Implement device profiles in autoaudiosink/autoaudiosrc
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.x
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: alex at weej.com

     GNOME version: Unversioned Enhancement
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


Applications should be able to pass a parameter to these bins that represents
either a "device profile" or a specific piece of hardware.

Profiles are aliases of audio hardware configurations. For example, in GNOME
Sound Preferences, I can configure my "Default" profile to use a specific sound
device. I can also add profiles, for example, "Music/Film" which uses a
different sound device.

In GStreamer applications I can then choose from either "Default",
"Music/Film",
"SB Live 5.1" or "M Audio Audiophile 24/96" in the application preferences
interface.

If I select "Music/Film" for Rhythmbox, Totem and Banshee, I can quickly change
my device for all three applications through GNOME Sound Preferences.

If I select "Voice Chat" for Ekiga (perhaps it should be pre-set for minimal
configuration), which wants to use my USB headset device which isn't plugged
in,
GStreamer should prompt me to either plug it in, or use the Default device
temporarily instead.

Thanks for reading this, I look forward to being able to use several sound
cards
with GStreamer apps!
