Description Pierre Ossman cendio 2015-07-01 14:06:31 CEST 
Right now the sink name with a Linux client is commonly:

 "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo on <user>@<client machine>"

After bug 4194 it gets worse with:

 "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo on <user>@<client machine> on <user>@<server machine>"

We should have something less scary. Either a fixed string, like "ThinLinc Virtual Sound Card", or just crop the "on..." portions if we think it's useful to see the local client sound card name.
Comment 1 Pierre Ossman cendio 2021-09-15 17:15:48 CEST 
The name in the description must have been referencing some intermediate case. In the same release we also did bug 5589, which changed the name to "Tunnel to 127.0.0.1:12345/". Still bad though, so we want to improve it.
