Comment:

 This isn't going to work. Currently the dispaly shows cardid:inputname .
 The ticket refers to "videosources" tho that's not what's in in the patch.

 {{{
 mysql> select cardinputid, cardid, inputname, videosource.name from
 cardinput join videosource on cardinput.sourceid = videosource.sourceid
 where cardid=2 or cardid=3 order by cardid;
 +-------------+--------+------------+--------------+
 | cardinputid | cardid | inputname  | name         |
 +-------------+--------+------------+--------------+
 |           2 |      2 | Television | CoxCableDD   |
 |           7 |      2 | Composite1 | VCR          |
 |           5 |      3 | S-Video 0  | CoxDigitalDD |
 |           6 |      3 | Tuner 0    | CoxCableDD   |
 +-------------+--------+------------+--------------+
 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
 }}}

 A capturecard.displayname wouldn't distinguish card 2s "Television" or
 "Composite1" input nor 3s "S-Video 0" or "Tuner 0" and none of it defines
 if the source is "CoxCableDD", "CoxDigitalDD" or "VCR".

 I could see using ca name for the card in place of the number but it still
 has to say which input on the card. I could see using the videosource.name
 in place of the inputname but there have to be two pieces of information
 on the display; one to which card is active and one to say which set of
 channels to expect.

 Or, at the very least, put displayname in the card input table so the user
 could name individual inputs.
