The names are almost standardized.  And for translation purposes they
need to be standardized.  

My primary goal here is for each sound card only to present the input
choices available.  My laptop has 7 input choices, the h3600 ipaq has 1
input choices, and the iPAQ H5xxx has 2 choices: internal Mic and
external Mic.  Maybe that is Mic and Phone on the H5xxx.

This makes sense to me.  I'll start working on it.
