--- Comment #26 from Raman Gupta <rocketra...@gmail.com> ---
Same problem here. The node.description field is much better, but even that
isn't necessarily sufficient to distinguish between source and sink devices.
In the following output, `node.nick` is what is currently shown. Note the
description is *much* better, but that would still not differentiate between
the Arctis 7 wireless adapter Chat sink and source, which have exactly the same
description.
Funnily enough, the System Settings / Sound page does it mostly fine. It
differentiates Playback and Recording devices into separate sections, and shows
the descriptions of each device.
```
$ pw-dump | jq '.[] | select(.type == "PipeWire:Interface:Node" and
.info.props["node.nick"] != null) | { "node.nick": .info.props["node.nick"],
"node.description": .info.props["node.description"], "media.class":
.info.props["media.class"], "device.disabled": .info.props["device.disabled"]
}'
{
"node.nick": "HD Pro Webcam C920",
"node.description": "HD Pro Webcam C920 Pro",
"media.class": "Audio/Source",
"device.disabled": null
}
{
"node.nick": "HD Pro Webcam C920",
"node.description": "HD Pro Webcam C920 (V4L2)",
"media.class": "Video/Source",
"device.disabled": null
}
{
"node.nick": "USB Audio #3",
"node.description": "USB Audio S/PDIF Output",
"media.class": "Audio/Sink",
"device.disabled": true
}
{
"node.nick": "USB Audio #1",
"node.description": "USB Audio Front Headphones",
"media.class": "Audio/Sink",
"device.disabled": null
}
{
"node.nick": "USB Audio",
"node.description": "USB Audio Speakers",
"media.class": "Audio/Sink",
"device.disabled": null
}
{
"node.nick": "USB Audio #2",
"node.description": "USB Audio Microphone",
"media.class": "Audio/Source",
"device.disabled": null
}
{
"node.nick": "USB Audio #1",
"node.description": "USB Audio Line Input",
"media.class": "Audio/Source",
"device.disabled": null
}
{
"node.nick": "SteelSeries Arctis 7",
"node.description": "Arctis 7 wireless adapter Chat",
"media.class": "Audio/Sink",
"device.disabled": null
}
{
"node.nick": "SteelSeries Arctis 7",
"node.description": "Arctis 7 wireless adapter Chat",
"media.class": "Audio/Source",
"device.disabled": null
}
```
In addition (and I guess this may be a separate issue) but KDE ignores the
Pipewire "device.disabled" property.
