Actually, I think we should make sure that all sink implementations set
PA_PROP_DEVICE_DESCRIPTION in new_data->proplist. Or even better, we
could have a separate description field in the new_data struct. I'm
dealing with sink descriptions myself currently, and I find it annoying
having to access them through proplists, and if I can't assume that the
property has been set, it's even more annoying.
