Then the right fix would be inside the media controller naming logic, in a way that it will ensure unique names. It sounds to me that mc core should then check, at device's register time, if the name was already used. If so, change it to be unique. > Losing the stored preference is possibly inconvenient in some cases, but > I don't think it's a real blocker. If it causes userspace regressions, then it is a blocker. Regards, Mauro
