It is not very elegant but I think we can live with the composite role+zone solution. What is important IMO that apps should use the 'zone' property and we can change the backend if/when we want to do so. However, what hook could be used to compose the 'media.role-zone' property? In the proposal (ie. the patches) the routing is done before PA_CORE_HOOK_SINK_INPUT_NEW is called, so I guess that cannot be used. br -janos-
