Sure, but a string is a *lot* more flexible, friendly for humans, and you can
still get errors if it is malformed. I don't get your coment about API, it's
the string format that is used by spice-gtk for USB filtering, it's documented
and we are not going to duplicate this everywhere as it works perfectly so far.

You can implement a utility function in your code trivially, so please consider
this FIXED. (I'd even say that it's not spice-gtk job to enumerate system USB
devices, it's nice that Hans added one already)
