Am I missing something or doesn't ALSA support channel names? When dealing with multichannel interfaces, it's pretty inconvenient to remember whether channel 193 is on MADI 3, AES-EBU or phones. We can address this on the jackd level, however, since OSX allows audio drivers to name their channels, I wonder how to do the same with ALSA? Cheers
