I am not sure the fix should be at arecord or namehint

since those "Output" and "speaker" may be translated to different language

and use "front" device for capturing is not recommeded since there are many
drivers have hook ctl and lock (e.g. "Channel Mode" , "Line-In As
Surround",  Surround Down Mix) in front or surroundxx device  and emu10k1
have ctl of pcm_route/pcm_volume
