Feature request: ID of devices

[tofeeh]

Please, could you add a full identification of created devices? Currently, without any names, it is difficult to write a REGEX to filter out unusual connection to microphone, or any other script to manage devices.

When openwave lunches pw-cat and pw-loopback just add some node properties to them. e.g.

pw-cat --record \
  --target alsa_input.usb-Elgato_Systems_Elgato_Wave_XLR_DS24K1A01018-00.mono-fallback \
  --rate 8000 \
  --channels 1 \
  --format s16 \
  --properties='{
    "node.name": "openwave_mic_8k",
    "node.description": "Wave XLR  microphone 8 kHz",
    "application.name": "OpenWave microphone"
  }' \
  -

pw-cat --record \
  --target alsa_input.usb-Elgato_Systems_Elgato_Wave_XLR_DS24K1A01018-00.mono-fallback \
  --channels 1 \
  --format s16 \
  --rate 48000 \
  --latency 200ms \
  --properties='{
    "node.name": "openwave_mic_48k",
    "node.description": "Wave XLR  microphone 48 kHz",
    "application.name": "OpenWave"
  }' \
  -

pw-loopback \
  --capture-props='{
    "node.autoconnect": false,
    "node.name": "openwave_loop_personal_to_hp_cap",
    "node.description": "Wave XLR personal audio input",
    "application.name": "OpenWave",
    "audio.channels": 2,
    "audio.position": ["FL", "FR"]
  }' \
  --playback-props='{
    "target.object": "alsa_output.usb-Elgato_Systems_Elgato_Wave_XLR_DS24K1A01018-00.analog-stereo",
    "node.name": "openwave_loop_personal_to_hp",
    "node.description": "Wave XLR personal audio to headphones",
    "application.name": "OpenWave",
    "audio.channels": 2,
    "audio.position": ["FL", "FR"]
  }'

Sorry, you can close it, I just noticed those are defined in pipewire config. You can close this request and I have to figure it out why I do not see it.
