Description of Problem:
When loading the ALSA loopback module (snd_aloop), the device description in PW is set to "Built-in Audio". This makes it impossible to distinguish this device from the actual built-in sound card in apps such as pavucontrol and Firefox.
Steps to Reproduce:
modprobe snd_aloop
Expected Results:
I would expect that the description is set to "Loopback".
