alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #407 was opened from sjomae: "This is something where macOS' Coreaudio/MIDI shines. Unlike macOS Linux/ALSA has no persistent unique IDs for soundcards or MIDI devices. ALSA supports hotplug, and first come first server sequential numeric IDs. The best you^Wpipewire can do is keep track of cards by name. So this is not something pipewire can reliably address, until ALSA get support to identify cards by vendor and serial-number, and provide a UUID." https://lists.linuxaudio.org/hyperkitty/list/linux-audio-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/OV63UFHRZ2LQYUDADZCUHC2MRA4JWPCU/ Issue URL : https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-lib/issues/407 Repository URL: https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-lib
