Great that you're bringing streams back to the applet, much appreciated!
I agree with Kai that we should hide the technical stream names, they are of no use \
to anybody not deeply interested in PulseAudio. If an application has more than one \
stream, it only makes sense to show anything besides the applicaiton name if it has \
any meaning for the user. Distinguishing multiple streams based on some purely \
technical identifier gives zero useful information. If we have no human-readable \
information to distinguish streams from the same application, we might as well fall \
back to simply numbering them.
As for the redirection of streams to devices: What I'd like to see from a user \
perspective is simply dragging and dropping. So users could grab a stream, drag it \
over to the devices tab and then drop it on a device. That would be kind of intuitive \
and wouldn't clutter the UI with dropdown arrows. I don't know if that is technically \
feasible, of course.
