ALSA device naming is a constant FAQ.  There's no document anywhere that
explains the syntax or even basic things like 'apps should always use
"default" device', '"default:x" can be used to address the second card',
that cards can be addressed by name, etc.  Look at how many apps only
enumerate the hw:x devices.

One paragraph of documentation on device naming could greatly reduce
user confusion and improve the level of ALSA support in applications.

I think a great start would be to write up Takashi-san's answers to
Daniel Yek in the recent thread.
