Thanks for the patch. Unfortunately, it is not sufficient for gr-fcd because it must also work on BSD, Windows and OS X. As such no ALSA or linux specific code should be in the gr-fcd block itself. In my opinion, updates should be made in gr-audio. We need a new API call that returns a list of available audio devices with their descriptive names. That way we can implement autodetection in a platform independent way.
