Bug Description
If you go to "Configure Local Sound Server", and set "Enable network access to local sound devices" and "Make discoverable network sound devices available locally" then when you go to the Default Source or Default Sink menus you get a nice list of local devices, e.g. :-
johncc@liberator: Nvidia CK804 - Nvidia CK804
johncc@liberator: Audigy 4 [SB0610] - ADC Capture/Standard PCM
Normally, you just get "Default" and "Other". If you choose "Other", you get a plain text box. God knows what you need to put in there! If the system is capable of discovering devices on a remote machine, and on the local machine via a network loopback, why can a list of devices not be provided instead of a plain text box? You shouldn't need to use this network loopback trick just to change a default sound sink.
