Hello,

I haven't frequented the alsa-devel list in the past, but Debian's maintainer apparently prefers that I go directly to the ALSA developers. While developing a new ALSA output plugin for Audacious audio player, I have run into several problems in snd_device_name_hint. I've already described the problems in the Debian bug tracker and made up some patches, which I would like someone to review. Here are the links:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=549531 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=552240

I'm also attaching the patches here.

Peace, John Lindgren
