screenshot
As you can see in the attached screenshot taken from pavucontrol on my
workstation (pulseaudio "server"), the laptop ("kuze", the remote pulseaudio
"client") creates duplication of all of the server's output (and input)
devices.
It's creating a ton of visual noise, lots of scrolling, and just getting in my
way all the time when I'm trying to quickly forward a local application stream
between output devices or to change the volume of something.
99.9% of the time, showing me "the local output devices as seen by a remote
networked computer and then re-shown on the local server" is useless, it
*might* be useful… only for debugging or auditing purposes.
I would want this hidden completely, or at least relegated to be shown only
when showing "All" or "Virtual streams" instead of "Applications". From a
user's standpoint, "some other pulseaudio instance on the network" is not an
"application" (especially in the usual sense of the word "application").</pre>
