All modules in PA git now know parameters "sink_properties" which can be used for what you want to do. Instead of passing "sink_description=foo" you can pass "sink_properties='device.description=foo'" which would have the equivalent effect, but also allows to set arbitrary properties on the sink. Thanks anyway for your patch, it's much appreciated. Lennart -- Lennart Poettering Red Hat, Inc. lennart [at] poettering [dot] net http://0pointer.net/lennart/ GnuPG 0x1A015CC4
