Ok, so routing modules may want to know what particular sinks and sources the profile contains. Since a profile may contain multiple sinks or sources, I think the fields should contain all sink/source names, and not only one that is selected according to some unobvious logic. Currently the fields don't contain the actual sink/source name, but an alias (derived from the alsa mapping name) - are there good reasons to prefer an alias rather than the real sink/source name? --Â Tanu
