I feel a bit guilty about this. Do you remember some time ago, a message from 
Mark, asking why ALSA names for devices were so ugly? I remembered an old  
patch from someone to make those names more meaningful. I got that patch, 
modified a bit and sent it to alsa-devel. The patch was rejected again, but 
generated a thread, with some final consensus: the shit you can see now. 
Sorry.

Regards,
Pedro
