But using the gst-launch command results in PulseAudio recognizing the
stream as 'gst-launch'. So in order to have PulseAudio remember the
settings of several different streams all started with a gst-launch
command, you have to set some environment variables. See
http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/ApplicationProperties

The other option is to set the device parameter of the GstPulseSrc
element, but you'll lose the advantage of PA remembering the selected
output device.
