To do for Oxygen

Icons that are in the spec, but not yet in Oxygen's devices/ (after renaming) so they need to be added. Descriptions taken from the specification.

 audio-card
   The icon used for the audio rendering device.

 camera-video
   The fallback icon for video cameras

 drive-optical
   The icon used for optical media drives such as CD and DVD.

 media-flash
   The fallback icon used for flash media, such as memory stick
   and SD.

 media-tape
   The icon used for generic physical tape media.

 network-wired
   The icon used for wired network connections.

 network-wireless
   The icon used for wireless network connections.

Don't know what to do with...

 cpu
   The specification does not contain any low-level processing
   units, such as CPUs or RAM. I can't think of an appropriate
   "category" name for those. The only word that I found which
   comes close was "internal-*" (internal-cpu, internal-memory, ...)
   but I'm not sure if this consistent with the rest of the
   devices category in the spec and extensible enough.
   Input and better ideas appreciated.

Summary of the suggested additions

The ones marked with * and should therefore go into the icon naming specification, presented here in a shorter list for a better overview. Including a suggested short description text like needed for inclusion in the spec.

 audio-headset
   The icon used for handsfree headset devices that combine a pair
   of headphones or earphones with a microphone.

 audio-input-line
   The icon used for audio line input devices.

 network
   The icon used for generic network connections.

 computer-laptop
   The icon used for a portable computing device as a whole.

 drive-remote
   The icon used for remotely accessed drives, such as
   NFS or WebDAV mounts.

 video-projector
   The icon used for a projector that video gets displayed to.

 video-television
   The icon used for a television device, such as
   CRT or flat panel displays.

Summary of optional suggested additions

The ones marked with *, but less important, maybe a good idea, but they are not absolutely needed for inclusion.

 media-optical-recordable
   The icon used for recordable physical optical media,
   such as CD-R and DVD-R.
