Guys, while I think this is a good idea, and something that surely can help a
lot of people, perhaps your efforts would be better applied if you focused on
the sndconfig utility that already has a moderately-working implementation.

Wouldn't it be better to start with the internals of sndconfig, port it to your
version of Linux, and resubmit the changes back to the maintainer of sndconfig?

Perhaps someone wants to make it gtk-capable, so we can have a graphical means
of controlling our PnP devices...
