Sorry for being picky here, but I find the wording confusing with two 
negatives resulting in a Y.

maybe

Some drivers report the I/O configuration to userspace through the
soundcard's long card name in the control user space AP. An unfortunate 
side effect is that this long name may also be used by the GUI, 
confusing users with information they don't need.
This option prevents the long name from being modified, and the I/O 
configuration will be provided through a different component interface.
Select Y if userspace like UCM (Use Case Manager) uses the component 
interface.
If unsure select N.
