Just a quick question... is there a (guaranteed) max size to the name string returned by snd_ctl_card_info_get_name() or is it just whatever the driver sets?

It's max 32 letters (including NUL). longname and mixername are max 80, id and driver are max 16.

Thanks very much; so I am OK to use a fixed 32 char array (with strncpy() just to be safe).

BTW my original post didn't seem to make it to the list. Any idea why?
