Public bug reported:

If you go to "Configure Local Sound Server", and set "Enable network
access to local sound devices" and "Make discoverable network sound
devices available locally" then when you go to the Default Source or
Default Sink menus you get a nice list of local devices, e.g. :-

joh...@liberator: Nvidia CK804 - Nvidia CK804
joh...@liberator: Audigy 4 [SB0610] - ADC Capture/Standard PCM

Normally, you just get "Default" and "Other".  If you choose "Other",
you get a plain text box.  God knows what you need to put in there!  If
the system is capable of discovering devices on a remote machine, and on
the local machine via a network loopback, why can a list of devices not
be provided instead of a plain text box?  You shouldn't need to use this
network loopback trick just to change a default sound sink.
