[Bug 1110660] Re: [SRU] gnomeradio crashed with SIGABRT in __libc_message()

** Description changed:

  SRU JUSTIFICATION

  [Description]

  In my sistem I have one PCI TV/FM tuner card and one removable USB TV/FM
  tuner.

  Gnomeradio is set to use, by default "/dev/radio0", device create by PCI TV/FM card.
  I discover this problem when I forgotten to attach USB TV/FM and I try to set gnomeradio to use "/dev/radio1" (device that would have made it by USB TV/FM and, of course if USB isn't connected, it does not exist).

  When I tried to change radio device to "/dev/radio1", in Preferences
  "Radio Device" combobox text and I press ENTER to SAVE settings,
  results: gnomeradio crash.

  [Impact]

  USB TV/FM card market is growing and this situation (and probably others
  similar to it), can exist for large users. It is important to be solved
  especially for novice users. They will see how the app crashes without
  knowing the cause.

  But of course, not only that justify to be solved this bug :)

  [Test Case]

  1. Open Gnomeradio
  2. Open "Preferences" dialog
  3. Enter in "Radio Device" combobox text settings one device that not exist
     (e.g. /dev/radio5)
  4. Press ENTER to save settings

  Actual results:

  gnomeradio crashed with SIGABRT in __libc_message()

  Expected results:

  gnomeradio to display a message that the device is not present

  [Regression Potential]

  None. This is succesfully tested in Raring
