Description Tanu Kaskinen 2011-12-01 12:43:35 UTC

I think it would be a good idea to remove the "name" option from the alsa path configuration files. By default the path name is taken from the file name, but the "name" option can be used to override that. I don't see any practical use for this, and it adds some complexity to the alsa-mixer code, because it has to check for duplicate path names. Duplicates would be impossible, if the path name would always be the file name.

Another benefit would be that it would be trivial to find the configuration file for any path of which name appears in pulseaudio logs.
