pacmd screenshot

I setup a bluetooth speaker using pulseaudio + pulseaudio-module-bluetooth +
bluez, and a physical bluetooth adapter on host computer, and I changed the
bluetooth device alias to "蓝牙音箱 Bluetooth Speaker [DELL Optiplex 3300]".

Then I connected to this bluetooth device on client computer, but I can't see
"蓝牙音箱" characters in pavucontrol or mate-volume-control or pacmd, like they are
been stripped out.

        device.description = " Bluetooth Speaker [DELL Optiplex 3300]"

It would be nice to support multibytes characters in
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth as the alsa module did:

        device.api = "alsa"
        device.description = "内部音频 模拟立体声"

See pacmd outputs on client computer:
$ pacmd
