But the descriptive strings are not unique, while the device paths are. So we take the latter to avoid any uniqueness issues. Also, please note that the PA sink name/source name is intended to be a more technical thing where it doesn't matter that the string is not typable. GUIs should probably show only the device description strings. But of course, this is Free Software. If you have a better algorithm for genereting unique sink/source names from HAL info, you're welcome to provide me with a patch. If it is done well I will certainly merge it!
