Title:
   Null sink device description is not displayed on the "Recording" tab
  in pavucontrol

Status in pavucontrol package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After using the following commands to create a mixer to add a
  soundboard to a mic input using pulseaudio, I notice that the "device
  description" is displayed correctly in each tab, but in the
  "Recording" tab it just shows "Null Output" for each device.

  pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=MUSIC 
  pacmd 'update-sink-proplist MUSIC device.description="Dummy Input"'
  pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=MIXER 
  pacmd 'update-sink-proplist MIXER device.description="Dummy Mixer"'
  pactl load-module module-loopback sink="alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo"
  pactl load-module module-loopback sink="MIXER"
  pactl load-module module-loopback sink="MIXER"

  Screenshot attached

  As you can imagine, it makes it hard to work out what's going on when
  devices all have the same name!
