Tonight I figured out that the problem with the soundcard not being identified as 'alsa.platform-sound' was actually a problem due to udev (which in buildroot is implemented by 'eudev') where one of the rule files: '78-sound-card.rules' had a line that made it skip assigning ID_PATH and ID_PATH_TAG to the platform sound card. The offending line was introduced by this commit:
Reverting that commit for that specific udev rule file (i.e. commenting out line 56 in '78-sound-card.rules') fixes the problem with the PulseAudio sound device name that I found over the weekend.

To work around the circular dependency between libsndfile and lame/mpeg123, I also created a new package called 'libsndfile-with-lame-and-mpeg13', which uses the same version number and all the other attributes of 'libsndfile' but has additional dependencies on lame and mpeg3:
This way the package 'libsndfile-with-lame-and-mpg123' gets built (and installed in the target directory) after lame and mpg123 have been built, and therefore has everything it needs to work with those libraries. I then made x6100-gui select the new 'libsndfile-with-lame-and-mpg123' package.

I just committed these two changes to the x6100-buildroot repository:
