For capture. Yes that's what I was meaning.
I'm fine with creating a new name, but wondering which name is best. Basically what you want here is the default use-case but without dsnoop like the current "default". (If dsnoop were acceptable, "default" should have been used in most places.) "capture" may be also too ambiguous for defining that, I'm afraid.
Yeah, "default" wont work here due to it being redirected to PulseAudio (as opposed to dsnoop) in this use case, so we need to avoid that name :s
IMO "capture" is quite clear (or at least as clear as "front" is for playback!), but here are a few other suggestions:
"record" "input" "read"
Personally, "input" and "capture" are my two favourites.
The question is, if we should identify more the source of the captured data. The default device does the basic job.

Eventually:
