For now, I think snd_card_next, with registry options for custom prefixes and an additional set of devices, is the best way to go. There's simply too much junk with snd_ctl_name_hint.
I agree with this analysis. Here's a patch. It uses pipes to separate device names, since I know commas are meaningful in ALSA. Perhaps that's not enough, and we need to do quoting?
In any case, this patch ought to be enough to satisfy users for 1.4. Any thoughts, anyone?
