What did you do?

func ListInputs() {
	devices := mediadevices.EnumerateDevices()
	sort.Sort(ByLabel(devices))
	fmt.Printf("Available inputs:\n")
	for i, v := range devices {
		l, _ := hex.DecodeString(v.Label)
		fmt.Printf("%d: %s:\t%s\t%s\n", i, v.DeviceID, l, v.Name)
	}
}

What did you expect?

I would expect the list of devices to include the name as displayed in all other apps. Instead, only the Label field is provided, which ranges from cryptic to unusable, as it is filled with just a UUID.

Either a Name property should be added to MediaDeviceInfo and filled with driverInfo.Name, or the Label field should be set to that value instead of the Label.

Example output:

You can see that the Rogue Amoeba Loopback inputs without the Name are impossible to identify.
