Looks like something along these lines has been committed by oleavr:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/commit/?id=700f70e7a5a6ae6eed5ea6026ab5901a4c05aff1

but it doesn't look entirely correct (the interface is really awful, no doubt):
"device-name" is by convention a read-only property that will return a
human-readable string for the device selected via some other property (usually
a "device" property, here maybe "device-path" and/or "device-index"). This is
to work around the limitation of the property probe interface that it can only
return one value per probe, and not a set of values such as device + device
name.

So unless devices are primarily selected via the "device-name" property, this
looks bogus, and it should be some other property that's probable.
