Nope. It's never worked the way you're theorizing. There's something

You got 'burned' because you didn't even _look_ at the capture card list
after
setting up any of your cards. All the device paths that have been setup
are
on that list. They're also in the input

Then pick delete.
Such a pity, then that the UI gave me NO
Well, this is new & different.
So after my little debacle with Capture Cards, and discovering
