Option "source". Not (yet) well-known, but used by quite some backends.

Here is the definition from SANE2:
"The option source is used to select the scan source (e.g. Automatic
Document Feeder). It defines a SANE_CONSTRAINT_STRING_LIST of type
SANE_TYPE_STRING. Well known sources are: Flatbed, Transparancy
Adapter and Automatic Document Feeder."
