I found the Question and answer:
How can I use PulseAudio virtual audio streams to play music over Skype?
I am currently using the command
pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=Virtual1
to create my virtual devices. But would like to use
pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=Virtual1 sink_properties=device.description="NAME HERE (mic+music)"
But when issuing the command, I get the following error.
$ pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=Virtual2 sink_properties=device.description="NAME HERE (only music)"
Failure: Module initialization failed
Is there another way to name the device? Whilst making a virtual device.

There is no documentation to the effect but it looks like you need to create the sink first then assign it properties.
To add a
device.description
with spaces please use the format "single-quotes"-"double-quotes"-"label".
