Title:
  Pulseaudio sinks nightmare to navigate

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome create audio sinks which do not
  have a unique label or icon. There is no way for the user to
  distinguish between a video on a blog or website, a video on youtube ,
  a video chat they are participating in or an advertisement.

  Desired behavior would be to show the label of the tab as the sink
  label and favicon of the tab as icon for sink.

  This is important. People spend more time watching videos online and
  communicating through the browser than they do using dedicated
  applications on their machines. Fiddling with multiple sinks until you
  come across the right one is horrible from a usability perspective.

  Expecting Firefox upstream or Chrome upstream to resolve the issue by themselves has not worked. Its 2015.
  At the end of the day this bug doesn't effect their adoption but it does affect pulseaudio and the platforms which use it.
