SUMMARY

Device names in system settings shown as:

- Headphones (Built-in Audio Analog Stereo)
  Profile: Analog Stereo Duplex
- Microphone (%DeviceName% Analog Stereo)
  Profile: Analog Stereo Input
- Digital Input (S/PDIF) (%DeviceName% Digital Stereo (IEC958))
  Profile: Digital Stereo (IEC958) Input
- and so on

There is no point in showing "Analog Stereo", "Digital Stereo", etc in device name itself since this just duplicates profile information and just ads clutter.

Something like this will have same amount of information but will be easier to skim through:

- Headphones (Built-in Audio)
  Profile: Analog Stereo Duplex
- Microphone (%DeviceName%)
  Profile: Analog Stereo Input
- Digital Input (S/PDIF) (%DeviceName%);
  Profile: Digital Stereo (IEC958) Input
