pulseaudio devices show up as "Unknown" in gstreamer-properties

[Kees Cook]

In "Default Input", select Plugin "PulseAudio", and in the Device drop-down, only "Default" and some "Unknown"s are available. These should show up as their pulseaudio source names, instead.

Thank you for your bug report, are you sure it's not a pulseaudio issue?

gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio is a binary package of gst-plugins-good0.10, and the source appears to work hard to extract the pulseaudio source description. That said, I am not sure. "pactl list" shows descriptions, so something is clearly getting lost somewhere in the middle area.
