Bug#598702: gnome-volume-control: cryptic device display

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Package: gnome-media
Version: 2.30.0-1
Severity: normal

i, when plugging a Philips+Mic USB cam, gnome-volume-control display a cryptic
name for it.
Instead of something like 'Philips Bla', it says: USB Device 0x0471:0x0310
(Alsa Mixer)

It seems gnome-volume-control is not using information from usbids (usbutils
packages), since Ids can be found:
