According to the pulse audio wiki, applications should set some
properties to identify itself to pulse audio:-

http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/ApplicationProperties

Attached is a patch which adds the required variables.  I don't know
where the best location to put these three lines are, so it would be
best if Jonathan could choose a suitable home for these three lines.

However!  This patch does not work (yet!) because there is an issue with
the pulse module of SDL.  The SDL pulse module is identifying itself to
PulseAudio using the process name.  On my system, I have patched libsdl
to not do this, and then finally OpenShot is identified correctly in the
Sound Preferences dialog.

I will raise a bug with the libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio package and add a
reference to that bug here.

When you play a video in OpenShot and open the Ubuntu sound preferences, in the "Applications" tab there is a OpenShot specific volume slider. However, this slider has the "icon not found" icon and is identified only as "python".
