Where is the headset icon? I can't see it in breeze...

Hmm, you're right, there's no audio-headset icon in breeze, it's inherited from oxygen. Should we use it while we request an audio-headset icon for breeze? or should I revert that change and use headphones in the meantime?

Perhaps move the conditional to the end, so it is taken if there's nothing else, that's making "surer" that nothing that currently works is changed, and at the same time, request a headset icon for breeze?

If I move it to the end, then the player device will show a headset correctly anyway since no other condition matches but for the capture device, a microphone icon will be shown instead of the headset.

Ah okay, I guess then keep this patch in, and ask for the breeze icon. :)

Perfect, thanks, I'll do that

I wrote in the summary above the contents of the string variables we could work with so that it's clear I couldn't find any other way to extract that information. If you have any other idea (any other variable to use for the match?) I'm happy to test it.

pactl list sinks
pactl list sources

If pulseaudio even differentiates between headset and headphones.

Thanks for the hint! I didn't know I could use FormFactor directly to reference the Device's formFactor property. Indeed now it looks much better.

icons are added to breeze-icons

Hi guys! Sorry to "necro-bump" this issue, but I wanted to share my opinion on this new approach of setting the device icon. From what I've been seeing in random screenshots of the plasma-pa applet, most of the times they all have the same icon: audio-card.svg. That's because, apparently, for a lot of people (myself included), the device.form_factor property is set to internal in all sinks:

$ pacmd list sinks | grep device.form_factor
device.form_factor = "internal"
device.form_factor = "internal"
device.form_factor = "internal"
device.form_factor = "internal"

So, the the device list in plasma-pa end up looking like this:

While that's not really a big deal for most people, I really think the previous "hacky" approach delivered better-looking results:

I don't know if that's an issue with PulseAudio, but for now I decided to downgrade the plasma-pa package back to version 5.11.5. I've also made an adaptation in contents/ui/DeviceListItem.qml, because my speakers port is named analog-output-lineout, so I wasn't getting the proper icon as well. Ah, I've also changed the audio-speakers-symbolic icon to just audio-speakers because I think it looks better:

I hope you guys can reconsider the decision of relying on device.form_factor.

Thanks a lot!
