Thanks Clemens. So this is just the word 'default' as a name and not
the card being the 'default' which does have a special meaning in Alsa
lingo? ue to major changes in the studio I haven't even hooked up
cables to this machine yet so maybe all sound is actually coming out
of the card I want to use. I just wrote since this didn't look right.
Thanks!

Even though it's very minor I'll submit a bug report. It would be nice
to have it use the card's name.

cheers,
Mark
