In Jack1 when I left it, the server doesn't create any metadata. But
there's no hard policy on that, and technically the ALSA driver itself
is in the best position to get information from hardware to set up
"pretty-name".
Port aliases also have no official policy either.
Thanks Paul. Yes I suspected it might be a relatively basic step
to have something fill in that data. That would be awesome.
Hopefully it could be done if it's ever finished in Jack-1 and 2.
the thing is, many times the user is in a better place than the software to
name the ports. that's why i trended toward a JACK startup process where
the user would supply the information that would get pushed into the port
metadata.
there's no way the driver knows that system:capture_1 is "kawaii k5000
left", but i do.
For Jack-2 I believe the meta-data support is currently just stubs,
as sletz has said. It appears in the headers but
that's about it.
I think...
last i heard, falktx is now maintaining both jack1 and jack2.
Tim.
