Hello

I have a sound card with 2 dsp and 1 mixer, it is an es1371, and
like a frend of my "Cyberwolf" has 2 soundcards (es1371) then
with 4 dsp's and 2 mixers.

So he is using /dev/dsp3 and /dev/mixer1 for GM.

I think replace the audio/mixer device by its real name is not a good
idea, like when you have 2 identical soundcards with the exact same name
then it will be problematic to choose mixer because they have the same
name.

We have experienced this naming problem with RAT.
