Ok, I agree, many "junk devices", bad enumeration methods, okay. But
why you are against a registry parameter? I'm a power user, I know
WHAT I do, I want to see all ALSA devices, even "junk". Why I can't do
that?
I will ONE time go to regedit and set this parameter "Enumerate all
devices", and always will see my favorite devices from .asoundrc, even
new added.
But you want to do it more difficulty, when I define a new device in
.asoundrc, I have to write it's name to WINE registry.
