And how am I supposed to detect the right name? alsa's procfs entries are funny - lots of nice looking phrases but hardly useable in the init scripts. I can parse the ALSA version but it hardly a sane way to go, especially since the string has a human-ready syntax, unsuitable for simple number comparison. Especially since it seems to be a bug in your specific module - snd-intel8x0m (1.0.9b) supports the hw: name. And if the ALSA upstream authors are thinking they can change the names everywhere and whenever they want just for the sake of fun, please tell them that this attitude sucks and they should give at least some useable way to work with the drivers distributors. Eg. print the syntax and available devices in procfs or via some useable tool. alsactl is not a such one.
