Hello,

I just got KDE Plasma 6.1 on Arch Linux. When opening the audio volume system tray widget it's now impossible for me to differentiate between the two inputs in my Behringer UMC202HD audio interface.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Open audio volume system tray widget 
2.  Look at the "microphone section" at the bottom

OBSERVED RESULT
You will see two items with exactly the same name: "UMC202HD 192k"

EXPECTED RESULT
You would see two items with different names:
1) "UMC202HD 192k Input 1"
2) "UMC202HD 192k Input 2"


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0
Qt Version: 6.7.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

It's the change described here: https://pointieststick.com/2024/02/02/this-week-in-kde-converging-on-a-release/
Here is a similar bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=487658 but the person reporting it was not using Plasma 6.1 - so it must be different(?). Also in their case the problem is described as "not great" in my case it's "impossible" to differentiate.

The cause of this "bug" is probably the 'node.nick = "UMC202HD 192k"' property in wpctl.

etc.

The "device.profile.description" property could differentiate between "Input 1" and "Input 2"

Thank you for your help.
