No big problem, but we haven't defined it.
Should the index be embedded in the name string or handled in a
different way?

Yes, I thought of it, too. But there are some funky names like
"hook_switch". Also, there is "Headphones", too.

So, IMO, the function should accept a special name for the input-jack
