Am I the only one that sees unfriendly input/output channel names with Pipewire in client software?

(Bitwig, Ardour, Reaper, more? I would like to see "Input 1" or "Channel 1" and not some strange ciphers when trying to assign things in a little dropdown selector in a DAW)




It seems to try to name the outputs based on the hardware name, but with multiple audio devices it can become quite confusing indeed. I've resorted to creating a wireplumber[1] config to rename things more reasonably and also disable a bunch of the inputs/outputs that I never use so they don't clutter up the lists.

This sounds (ha) like broken hardware.
