I'm intending to do this for the v4l*src elements (VideoDeviceSrc).
Maybe also for the v4l*sink elements (VideoDeviceSink).

And I hope Benjamin is willing to help me in making the same possible
for audio device outputs (including sound servers), so AudioSink ->
osssink/alsasink/esdsink/massink/jacksink/... and AudioSrc ->
osssrc/alsasrc/esdsrc/....

All planned for 0.7.x.
