Follow the mustux standard. It separates in and out buses, and use this 
convention (for example)

PLAYBACK BUSES :
Mustux Bus ID   Descriptor      Bus Name
======================================================================
  0             hw:0,3          EMU10K1 - 1st OUT (hw:0,3)
  1             hw:0,0          EMU10K1 - 2nd OUT (hw:0,0)
  2             hw:1,0          SB16 - 1st OUT (hw:1,0)

CAPTURE BUSES :
Mustux Bus ID   Descriptor      Bus Name
======================================================================
  0             hw:0,2          EMU10K1 - 1st IN (hw:0,2)
  1             hw:0,1          EMU10K1 - 2nd IN (hw:0,1)
  2             hw:0,0          EMU10K1 - 3rd IN (hw:0,0)
  3             hw:1,0          SB16 - 1st IN (hw:1,0)



and so on...

there is the get_total_buses_in/out() which will give the total number for all 
cards,
mustux maps all cards into inly two independ rack of buses ; in and out; but
do not differentiate cards.

It is really logaritmic: Maximum level is 0dB and minimum is -infinite. I have 
the formula, but I dont know where I put,
I will get and send to you ASAP.
