[alsa-devel] Shared volume control again

[Takashi Iwai]

Hi,

thinking of the problem about shared volume controls again, I stumbled
on a case where your suggested solution doesn't work well.  Namely,
when a headphone volume is shared for two headphones (one on the
laptop and one on the dock), how should it be named?  One is
"Headphone" and another is "Dock Headphone".  That's a bit tricky.

So, in the end, we need the mapping representation somehow more
explicitly than the control name.

Thoughts?
