Could you use another (less technical terms) #179

Hi,

Could you rename two of your terms that cause confusion to non-tech people who use this app?

  1. Default sink as Output devices (pavucontrol uses this nomenclature)
  2. Default source as Input devices (pavucontrol uses this nomenclature)

So that, people like non-tech teachers could understand it better when choosing, say, between a native output sound card or an USB one... I deal with this kind of people and for them default sink or default source does not make any sense, and they often get confused by these terms. And, although I am a tech-savvy person (programming, OS, FS, Linux and the like), I also think that these terms you use do not add any value to this app. Thx a lot.

It's free software, so if now how to program, why not submit a patch for this?
