Markus's "Crazy shit around -global (pardon my french)"
series instead suggest to use '-device ...':

Could that work here?
No, this is a different issue. The problem with the floppy is that it
conflated two devices in one (controller and drive), while here the
device is builtin.
In this case -global could be replaced by a machine property, similar to
what is done for the block devices that back parallel flash. That
however is orthogonal to providing a good CLI for configuring audio.
