Good point, as I imagined, pulseaudio is using it in various places
and prefer a descriptive name, such as "EsounD client
(old-esound-binary)". It can be used to match streams for various
policies in certain cases (although roles are more useful in most
cases).

So ideally, in the future, I think we would want to have something
like: "MySpiceClient (NameOfVM)". This could be done by spice-gtk
itself in the future without requiring the application to set the name
of the stream. Although we may want to support overriding that name
again in the future with a property (I dropped it in
spice_audio_get())
