How about, "audio input", "audio output," "control input", and "control output?"

When people say "What do we call 'x'?", they are already calling 'x', 'x'.

The other choices offered are no shorter, and in my opinion not quite as clear either. We'd ahve to say not just "parameter", but "input parameter," and not just "pin," but "output pin".

Mike

I hate these decisions.  We've talked a bit recently about parameters vs
control ports.  Pins vs ports vs IOs vs controls.

Let's decide a name and stick with it.

What do we call an audio input/output?
What do we call a control input/output?
Can the two use fundamentally the same naming?

I've heard used:
Audio pins and control pins
Audio ports and control ports
Audio jacks and control jacks
Audio ports and parameters
Audio ports and controls
Ports and parameters
IOs and controls
Connections and controls

Which of these makes the most sense?  Let's choose and stick with it.

Tim
