The authorative reference on estream ciphers seems to be http://www.ecrypt.eu.org/stream/finallist.html.
The latest report is from 2012 at: http://www.ecrypt.eu.org/documents/D.SYM.10-v1.pdf
It still lists the Salsa20/12 in the cipher list.
I'd recommend making the substitition "ESTREAM_SALSA20" -> "SALSA20R12" there too.
I don't find the SALSA20R12 a reasonable name, it contains far too many numbers that may mean something to me and you but mean nothing to anyone else (and thus cannot be memorized). Estream-salsa20 is far more simple, and as I previously mentioned it automatically justifies the reason and need for the variant. It is the variant chosen by the estream project when it finished in sept. 2008. Yes they said they may update the list, as sha1 was replaced by sha2 and later sha3. However, sha1 is still called sha1 :)
