It's definitely possible, but it does make the experience a bit worse with real
hardware, in my opinion. I would go from:

Out: HDA Intel PCH - ALC887-VD Analog
Out: HDA NVidia - HDMI 0
Out: Logitech USB Headset - USB Audio

To:

Out: PCH - ALC887-VD Analog
Out: NVidia - HDMI 0
Out: Headset - USB Audio

The headset is the biggest loss of information.

Unfortunately adding all three components (ID, name, and device) would make it
very long:

Out: PCH - HDA Intel PCH - ALC887-VD Analog
Out: NVidia - HDA NVidia - HDMI 0
Out: Headset - Logitech USB Headset - USB Audio

I notice that PulseAudio's pavucontrol shows nice names like "HDA NVidia",
"Built-in Audio", and "Clear Chat Comfort USB Headset". I wonder where those
come from.

I'm open to suggestions.
