Basically it should be a default PCM Well, I thought it out to differentiate with userfefault because "default" actually should mean "userdefault". And alsadefault is what alsa lib puts as default (really a system default vs user default). So I still like the name but I see your point also. here are few more suggestions: auto:<CARD> autosense:<CARD> autoconf:<CARD> plugandplay:<CARD> #may provoke bad associations autoplug:<CARD> #may confuse with the plug PCM tyme alsaauto:<CARD> > definition for each card.
