this is just confusing...
This should be something like "use Playback for source ports and Capture for sink ports".
Source port on ...? This is also confusing to me!
For playback there are two ports, one on transmitter aka TX and one on receiver aka RX. For Tx we use source port, and Rx uses sink ports. I should probably add port to make people really figure out we are talking about ports!
So:
Playback maps to source port on the TX and sink port on Rx. Vice-versa for Capture.
Do you agree to above statement?
No. Source port and TX are redundant definitions, and your wording isn't clear: is the PLAYBACK/CAPTURE qualifier for the stream or the DAI used by the stream?
