What happens is the following: Gnome settings' UI shows device.description by default. This value is taken from udev, key ID_MODEL_FROM_DATABASE. The firewire udev device does not set this value, so it falls back looking for the parent device. The parent device, the controller has an ID_MODEL_FROM_DATABASE set, which in my case is "Motherboard". So the firewire card ends up with the name "Motherboard".
The ID_MODEL_FROM_DATABASE is probably set (for the firewire controller) by udev/systemd, see the "hwdb" directory of systemd sources. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1381475 Title: Firewire sound card registered by the name of the fw controller To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1381475/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
