[Openvortex-dev] Re: mixer control - Captuer Source - rename item name in enumerated control

[Raymond]

Is it possible to detect which daugther card is connected (e.g Yamaha
DB50XG, TurtleBeach Cancun FX, Roland SCD-15...) and replace "Video"
with the name of daugther card on the mixer control ?

The hardware driver know how the hardware are connected more than the
alsa-lib

Not only the capture source will need to be changed.

numid=33,iface=MIXER,name='Video Playback Switch'
  ; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw---,values=1
  : values=on
numid=34,iface=MIXER,name='Video Playback Volume'
  ; type=INTEGER,access=rw---,values=2,min=0,max=31,step=0
  : values=9,9

It seem that get_compare_weight() use pre-defined names to perform
matching
