Public bug reported: A line from 'pactl list sources' output, for example:
Ports: analog-input-microphone;input-microphone-1: Analog Microphone / Microphone 1 (priority. 8720) And neither GUI tool (pavucontrol) nor command-line tools (pacmd, pactl) can not set such port using all combinations I can think of (double quotes, single quotes, escape sequence). The problem as I see it lies in interface between Alsa and PulseAudio. Alsa defines such port names and PulseAudio can not use them.
