Feature request: custom names for input devices
On macOS the microphone list shows the names from the device firmware. My list:
- USB PnP Audio Device
- Unknown USB Audio Device
- External Microphone (Default)
- External Microphone
- MacBook Pro Microphone
I can't tell my desk mic, webcam mic and headset mic apart without checking USB IDs. macOS has no way to rename audio devices, so the fix has to come from the app.
Request: let me give a device my own name in superwhisper (e.g. "Desk mic", "Webcam", "Headset"), stored by device UID, and show that name in the menu-bar list and in Settings.
Also: "External Microphone (Default)" next to "External Microphone" reads like two devices. Something like "System default (External Microphone)" would be clearer.
