It's somehow a scoping problem 
The point is that description() is good enough (maybe) to distinguish between the few devices \
you have connected at the moment (with the notable exception of the "volume (xxx)" repeated n \
times;  whereas here what is needed is something which potentially can identify every device \
that you have ever connected.  That's why we should, obviously imho, add some auxiliary infos \
such as the parent product & vendor.
