OK, help me with the philosophy here then. If the intent is to discourage the use of interface IDs of the form 'hw:0,0', then why does the snd_pcm_open() call *require* names in this form? To say "it's the responsibility of the user to figure this out" is ultimately the same as saying "ALSA will never be anything other than a programmers toy". I don't see any non-programer end user ever bothering to take the time (not to mention having the ability) to figure all this cruft out. Is this making sense, or am I missing something here?
