You can change this by using the sink_properties argument on the load-module line in default.pa, e.g. sink_properties="device.description='My Preferred Name'". You'll need the latest PA for this, probably the soon-to-be-released 0.9.16. It's even possible to assign an icon to each sink, to have even more discoverability for the users of your audio setup. For more info you can browse back in the list archives for earlier conversations about sink descriptions, it's a topic that comes up quite a lot. Maarten
