I was trying to avoid that issue. I think that the gstreamer-properties
is close to unusable (I mean, people who know what to put in there can
also use gconf-editor, really). And it asks the question: should you be
showing hardware devices available and make things like esound use the
selected device, or should esound be an option, and the soundcard
selected another option...

I'd rather see vendors do the legwork and implement something that fits
in their architecture until we get something like HAL working on the
majority of the GNOME platforms.

Better not in there at all than half-botched.
