pavucontrol should show the name of the sinks

Description

Using multiple remaps or other things on the same device, the description of the sinks will be the same in pavucontrol. ("Remapped ALSA PCM on surround71 (CA0106)" in my case)

Including the sink_name in the format-string would be more usable as theres no need to guess which sink is the right anymore.

Uh, pavucontrol from a couple of versions showed the name. But I removed them because they where quite user unfriendly to deal with.

Without overloading the UI with too much uninteresting stuff, it might make sense to show the device name in a tooltip, though.
