Bug Description
After using the following commands to create a mixer to add a soundboard to a mic input using pulseaudio, I notice that the "device description" is displayed correctly in each tab, but in the "Recording" tab it just shows "Null Output" for each device.
pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=MUSIC
pacmd 'update-
pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=MIXER
pacmd 'update-
pactl load-module module-loopback sink="alsa_
pactl load-module module-loopback sink="MIXER"
pactl load-module module-loopback sink="MIXER"
Screenshot attached
As you can imagine, it makes it hard to work out what's going on when devices all have the same name!
Note that the device description is shown correctly in all other tabs.
