Yes, this is seen by userspace.

Ideally, we would add this property with a unique value when enabling
audio for any board, but as you mention, it would be a breaking change
to add those properties now.

In practice, all distributions supporting the PinePhone are already
carrying this patch, because the ALSA setup needed for the PinePhone is
very different from most other boards. So it would be similarly breaking
for them (and their users) to drop this patch.

Samuel
