Fons,
What would be the advantage? Lennart mentioned the same thing. How would
the sound card get the serial number added to the name that way?

You need some
sort of unique identifier for a sound card. With the RME
cards that was easy, as they have individual serial numbers, which I add
to the card's name: HDSPe_f1cd85, for example. I did this because in the
setups those cards are used in, it is absolutely mandatory to identify
the cards (probably multiple cards of the same model) correctly.
Wouldn't the
right way to do this be to let udev find out the
serial number and then define the name that includes/uses it ?
(not sure if the latter is possible, but reading the SN from
/sys should be)
