well, sort of. thats what the code in aplay for the -L case shows you how to
do. it doesn't include the enumerated devices of the form:
type:card[,device[,subdevice]]
the working model (i think) is that you don't want to present names
like this to the user, and that its up to them (or a configuration
program working on their behalf) if they want easy names to access
these devices with.
