+<cweiske> I'd like to temporarily change the name of a pipewire output. I already found the device id 73 with "pw-cli list-objects" and see that the label that Gnome Shell shows is the "node.description" property:
+<cweiske> $ pw-cli info 73 |grep node.desc
+<cweiske> *  node.description = "Sennheiser PC 8.2 USB Analog Stereo"
+<cweiske> How can I change that?
+<cweiske> I tried
+<cweiske> $ pw-cli set-param 73 Props '{ props = [ 'node.description' "Headset" ] }
+<cweiske> but that does not work.
+<cweiske> I also tried variations like '{ props = [ "node.description": "Headset Sennheiser" ] }', but no avail
+<wtay> cweiske, it's not possible to change a property like that
+<wtay> cweiske, you can make a wireplumber rule to change the description though
+<cweiske> I saw that in the docs: https://docs.pipewire.org/page_man_pipewire_conf_5.html
+<cweiske> but I thought I could try that at run-time
+<wtay> https://pipewire.pages.freedesktop.org/wireplumber/daemon/configuration/alsa.html#rules
+<wtay> not possible at runtime
+<cweiske> thanks for the info.
