Public bug reported:

Hello,

gstreamer-properties application fails to set the device name right. The
device name is set and shown as "Unknown". This is not very helpful
label, especially when the actual device does exist.

See this picture:
http://www.futuredesktop.com/tmp/audio-recorder/picture1.png
The device name/description for audio source #0 and #1 are set to "Unknown".

However the PulseAudio's "pactl list" command shows the device name/description 
right.

Source #0
 State: RUNNING
 Name: alsa_output.pci-0000_04_02.0.analog-stereo.monitor <-- INTERNAL DEVICE 
NAME
 Description: Monitor of SB0400 Audigy2 Value Analog Stereo <--- SHOULD SHOW 
THIS

Source #1
 State: SUSPENDED
 Name: alsa_input.usb-046d_089d-01-U0x46d0x89d.analog-mono <- INTERNAL DEVICE 
NAME
 Description: QuickCam E2500 series Analog Mono (w/ microphone) <--- SHOULD 
SHOW THIS

Example code 1 (GStreamer fails to set the name/description):

Example code 2 (PulseAudio does it right):
