OTOH, we can take an optional directional suffix, i.e. "[location] base [direction] [channel]", too. For example, base can be "Video" or "Line", and direction can be "Out" or "In".
These names are going to get pretty verbose very easily. Might it be worth putting some of this (and also other information like colour) into TLV information rather than part of the base jack name?
Yeah, we should avoid to put too much there. There is a limitation in the name string size, too.
So long as we can extract a name for the jack itself (which is probably the location in your example above) I think we're fine.
I think the main thing is to clean up this mess for 3.4 so we don't get too many confused userspaces out there.
Agreed.
