I have some usb cameras that have also a microphone onboard.
I would like to find the card/device ( for an alsa hw adddress) with the right camera automatically (once i know how to link them)
so this tells me that one of the usb cameras has an alsa hw address of hw:2,0 and the other one hw:3,0
but how do i match it to the correct /dev/video0 and /dev/video1 ?
some other things i've tried to see if i can match them :
and
so that looks promissing as xusb-usb-0:2.3:1 shows up in both, but then i still don't know which sound card ./controlC3 is.....
and
and
so i can match them on ID_USB_INTERFACES, but then still don't know the alsa hw address..
any other tricks out there ?

Code:
ls /dev/video*
/dev/video0
/dev/video1
Code:
v4l2-ctl --list-devices
