Renaming ports via LUA script when device is connected

Hello!

I have a sound card with nearly 20 inputs and I want to have a way to set a custom name for each port in PipeWire.

Today I am using the pro-audio profile so my ports look like capture_AUXn.

Ideally I could just have some sort of "port name map" that would apply to a specific device, or a way to match rules against ports.

Here is my current approach:

rule = {
  matches = {
    {
      { "port.alias", "equals", "Scarlett 18i20 USB:capture_AUX0" },
    },
  },
  apply_properties = {
    ["port.name"] = "Front 1.1",
  },
}

table.insert(alsa_monitor.rules,rule)

It doesn't work, most likely because alsa_monitor doesn't "see" PipeWire ports.

Is what I am attempting to do possible today?

Alternatively, would it be possible to have a custom profile that would be similar to pro-audio with a custom rule (LUA function maybe) that generates the port names?
