Hello, Is it possible to give custom names to audio devices? Presently the audio devices have long cryptic names listed in the device chooser. If possible I would like give these devices custom user friendly names. For example, my Micorosft LX-3000 USB headset is listed as: ALSA PCM on front:1(USB Audio) via DMA but I would like it to be listed as perhaps USB Headset: Microsoft LX-3000 It is doable (this is on Debian Testing)? If yes, how do I go about doing this? My main motivation for this is make novice users (friends and some senior citizen relatives) select a device very easily. When there are multiple devices involved (a USB headset, the onboard speakers and mic, webcam mic, etc.), it becomes confusing for novice computer users to understand which device is which. Thanks. -- Please reply to this list only. I read this list on its corresponding newsgroup on gmane.org.
