I can't remember off hand but IIRC it's based on the "device.description" property of the sink. So you should be able to adjust that fairly easily. (see update-sink-proplist in pacmd - you will likely have to unload and reload the avahi-publish module to see the change tho') HTHs Col -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited [http://www.tribalogic.net/] Open Source: Mageia Contributor [http://www.mageia.org/] PulseAudio Hacker [http://www.pulseaudio.org/] Trac Hacker [http://trac.edgewall.org/]
