             Bug #: 43435
           Summary: [cleanup] Make alsa path names always match the config
                    file names
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: PulseAudio
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: alsa
        AssignedTo: pulseaudio-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: tanuk at iki.fi

I think it would be a good idea to remove the "name" option from the alsa path
configuration files. By default the path name is taken from the file name, but
the "name" option can be used to override that. I don't see any practical use
for this, and it adds some complexity to the alsa-mixer code, because it has to
check for duplicate path names. Duplicates would be impossible, if the path
name would always be the file name.

Another benefit would be that it would be trivial to find the configuration
file for any path of which name appears in pulseaudio logs.
