The docs are unclear on how to support a pluggable USB audio device and be
able configure its settings and sink/source name. Approaches tried are:
1. Use of load-module fails if the device is not yet plugged in.
2. Use of add-autoload-* fails to enumerate device in drop-down lists
until it is explicitly accessed, even though the device is indeed plugged
in.
3. Use of module-hal-detect correctly detects and adds the device upon
plug-in, but sacrifices any configurability of that device, especially
giving it a user-meaningful name.
My choice would be to have module-hal-detect bump any ghost sinks/sources
already defined for that device, making them non-ghosted now. But that
would require some algorithm for matching up what HAL found with ghost
definitions.
