That is why port aliases are SO VERY important and should

port aliases are an ad-hoc hack.
the correct solution was added to jack1, but never (AFAIK) to jack2, and
that's metadata, along with well-known metadata keys such as
"pretty-name".
port aliases should go away, and be replaced by metadata.
But when you and I last spoke of this, I was disappointed to learn
that there were no plans to put default information in that meta-data,
like the information that is provided in those alias names.
So as I understood, the meta-data would be blank by default.
You demonstrated that meta-data does work - but you had to provide
that information from your own list.
Am I mistaken? Would such information be available by default?
Thanks.
Tim.
