Bug ID: 491205
Summary: Show understandable device names in applet
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasma-pa
Version: 6.1.3
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: applet

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Currently, I see device names provided by kernel.
E.g. built-in audio shown as ALCXXX and bluetooth speaker shown as
%vendor%-%model%(%serial%)
The problem is that I don't care whatever codec my built-in audio card uses and
from this name it is very unclear what "ALCwhatever" even means. Nowhere around
your PC you'll find what audio chip is being used and how it's named.
At the same time, in sound settings same device named as "Headphones (Built-in
Audio Analog Stereo)".
It is clear and understandable.
Bluetooth device named as "Speaker (%vendor%-%model%(%serial%))". Not that
clear but still understandable.
With BT devices at least, you'll benefit from knowing device name since you
might just have many of them connected.
