If the ICE-cards have serial numbers, it could be an effective solution
to add it to the card's name. RME cards are quite commonly used in
bundles, so I added this feature:

# cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [default        ]: HDSPM - RME MADI_c61f8e
                      RME MADI S/N 0xc61f8e at 0xfdef0000, irq 16

It also allows to identify cards in the LAN. In infrastructure setups
the host no longer is the top level namespace.
