Actually, I think I was confused here; looking at snd_hda_codec_build_pcms,
I think the naming is always flat, irrespective of how many converters
are within a codec:

hw:${card},${dev}

with dev being assigned in sequence 3,7,8,9 within an entire HDA bus,
which I think means within an entire HDA controller.

So, the naming scheme most likely won't change at all.
