PA_SINK_INPUT_FIX_FORMAT doesn't seem to work as expected.
If I set this flag without defining the sample_spec, I get an assertion
in pa_sink_input_new when pa_format_info_from_sample_spec is called.

At first I considered that loading module loopback with specifying
anything is not really a frequent use case. That make a lot of changes
to add this feature I think.


Now if sink or source is not set, the device description and icon name

That makes sense. I'm just wondering if any application listening to sink
creation
will get updated from the sink creation, or if this would create an
additional round
of IPC for the property change ? Could this be a potential problem ?
