Subject: alsa-base: persistent names for audio adapters.
Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.23+dfsg-2
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hello ALSA maintainers,
Persistent names are now routinely used for storage devices and for network
adapters.
Contemporary systems can have multiple audio adapters and, of course, a USB
audio adapter
should be hotpluggable. Therefore I suggest addition of a script
/lib/udev/write-sound-rules
which would create /etc/udev/70-persistent-sound.rules. This would solve the
ambiguity
and confusion and difficulty with identity of sound hardware.
If this suggestion interests you, I can offer a draft of the write-sound-rules
script.
Regards, ... Peter E.
