pactl sink_name parameter no longer sets device.description field
- PipeWire version (0.3.44):
- Distribution and distribution version (Arch Linux):
- Desktop Environment: XFCE
- Kernel version (5.16.2-arch1-1):
Description of Problem:
Starting in 0.3.44, a command like "pactl load-module module-remap-sink sink_name=test" will no longer fill in the device.description field with the same name. Instead, it will be something like loopback-11. This is the name that shows up in pavucontrol or OBS.
How Reproducible:
100% in 0.3.44
Steps to Reproduce:
- Run the command "pactl load-module module-remap-sink sink_name=test"
- Observe the sink name in pavucontrol or the device.description field from "pactl list"
Actual Results:
node.name = "test"
device.description = "loopback-11"
Expected Results:
node.name = "test"
device.description = "test"
