<pre>My headphones are called "Kopfhörer" (German for headphones ;) and are listed
as such in Bluetooth configuration:
$ hcitool name <address>
Kopfhörer
However, in PulseAudio they show up as "Kopfh rer" (with a space instead of the
umlaut):
$pacmd list-sinks
* index: 3
[...]
driver: <module-bluez5-device.c>
flags: HARDWARE DECIBEL_VOLUME LATENCY
state: RUNNING
[...]
module: 30
properties:
bluetooth.protocol = "a2dp_sink"
device.description = "Kopfh rer"
[...]
device.api = "bluez"
device.class = "sound"
device.bus = "bluetooth"
device.form_factor = "headphone"
[...]
bluez.class = "0x240418"
bluez.alias = "Kopfhörer"
Note how the "bluez.alias" is correct. This likely also affects other non-ascii
characters.
$ pulseaudio --version
pulseaudio 8.0</pre>
