I'm playing with a beta that allows -infinite -concurrent
*Stream-to-Echo* players to exist (in the released skill, only one Alexa
pseudo-player is possible). :cool:

For the P.O.C., the name that shows in the LMS GUI or iPeng for the
pseudo-player is formed by prepending 'Alexa-' to the last 5 characters
from the Echo's reported deviceId (see above screenshot which shows 5
concurrent Alexaplayers in iPeng).

Does it matter that these names are pretty meaningless to the user? 
Would it be better to append the name of the assumed player instead?
Or, would it be better still to add a new intent which — just like the
assume command — allows you to assign a name to the Echo using your
voice?

Unfortunately, skills cannot request the friendlyName you gave your
Echo's in the Alexa app, so something has to be either concocted or
specified.
