Do you mean making sure that the name is unique in module-udev-detect? The module would need to iterate through all card names, try to find duplicates and come up with a way for making the new card name unique. That code exists already in the name registry, and duplicating it doesn't sound like good design. Therefore, I prefer introducing the namereg_fail argument for module-alsa-card. > However, I *strongly* advise using the latest release of PA + the > patches on stable-queue. 0.9.19 is quite old now and there are a couple > hundred additional fixes already committed, one of which may have looked > at this kind of issue. The card name generation in module-udev-detect seems to be unchanged between 0.9.19 and git master, so this is most still broken. I wrote a fix, btw :) If you like it, please pull.
