> Which makes me wonder. Device additions are actually already handled using HAL

I only glanced at the code, but it seems to me that this is only true for ALSA
devices.

(On a side note, this is all a bit awkward. IMO the hal->alsa device mapping
code should really live in halaudiosink and then be queried via the GstProperty
interfaces, or ideally some kind of new GstDeviceProbe interface which makes
all the interesting information like the device, the name/description etc.
available in one swoop)

I don't know if hal covers oss devices, but if it does you're ignoring them
from the looks of it.
