Bug#941978: pavucontrol: Use sink_name for labels instead of device.description

[Benjamin Bänziger]

Package: pavucontrol
Version: 3.0-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When using multiple module_null_sink with different sink_name, it is not
possible to distinguish them in pavucontrol, since they are all just
labeled with "Null Output".
See screenshot.
