Consider bringing sink names more in line with pulseaudio

Not a critical issue by any means, but i noticed that the sink names reported by pactl list short sinks differ from native pulse and pipewire, which happened to break a script I use to move streams between sinks.

E.g. this is the output when running native pulse:

0	alsa_output.pci-0000_0a_04.0.analog-stereo	module-alsa-card.c	s32le 2ch 48000Hz	IDLE
1	alsa_output.pci-0000_0b_00.1.hdmi-stereo-extra4	module-alsa-card.c	s32le 2ch 48000Hz	IDLE
2	alsa_output.pci-0000_0d_00.4.analog-stereo	module-alsa-card.c	s32le 2ch 48000Hz	IDLE

and this when running pipewire:

37	alsa_card.pci-0000:0d:00.4.playback.0.0	PipeWire	s32le 2ch 48000Hz	RUNNING
39	alsa_card.pci-0000:0a:04.0.playback.0.0	PipeWire	s32le 2ch 48000Hz	RUNNING
36	alsa_card.pci-0000:0b:00.1.playback.10.0	PipeWire	s32le 2ch 48000Hz	RUNNING

(also notice the space in the name field which might break parsing scripts and the fact that all sinks are always RUNNING :P)

Might be worth to change this so it doesn't cause any surprises.
