get_term_name() calls snd_usb_copy_string_desc() for retrieving the name when a specific ID (name field) is given. When this returns an error (zero), however, it simply returns as is. This will end up in a fixed name string in the caller side, which often is meaningless. For giving a bit more useful name string depending on the terminal type, change the get_term_name() function to go through the fallback mode.
