Description Lennart Poettering 2009-10-01 17:37:07 UTC 
sink/source description can change dynamically. For example the description of a "module-sink-combine" sink changes depending on the backends it has which changes when plugging/unplugging. 

Another example is module-remap-sink or module-ladspa-sink which changes the description (and icon) when you move it from one backend sink to another backend sink. 

pavucontrol gets the update right, g-v-c currently doesn't.

Can I rename other sources/change other icons using pacmd for example?

In short, how would I reproduce this without using one of those plugins?
Comment 2 Lennart Poettering 2009-10-06 17:41:30 UTC 
update-sink-proplist in 'pacmd' is your friend:

    update-sink-proplist 2 device.description="foobar"
    update-sink-proplist alsa_output.5.iec958-stereo device.description="waldo"

Or if you are too lazy to figure out the name or index of the sink (as I usually am) you can use a wildcard:

    update-sink-proplist @DEFAULT_SINK@ device.description="All Your Base"

And for the icons use device.icon_name.
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2009-10-09 16:16:59 UTC 
Fixed the descriptions of sinks and sources not getting updated
(we don't show icons yet, but fixing it would be simple).

Is anything missing?

Lennart, closing as FIXED as per last comment. Feel free to reopen.
