[pulseaudio-discuss] [PATCH v2] Name HDMI outputs uniquely

[Alexander E. Patrakov]

On Haswell hardware, there are multiple HDMI outputs capable of
digital sound output. As they were identically named, KDE's control
center was unable to distinguish them, restored the wrong profile and
thus routed sound to the wrong HDMI monitor.

Also, having identically-named menu items in other mixer applications
looks like a bug.
