You mean an array of info in the ioctl return, along with the fd?
That would work too.
I'm used to setting up streams like this in a networked environment
where returning data via the stream setup isn't an option, the only
option is to sync via the stream itself, so I overlooked the possibility
of using the ioctl return.

That was my initial feeling as well.
And bulk is no longer an option if you want to include name in the change
report.
