There isn't any way to select among non-native audio outputs within 
OpenAL right now, so you're stuck doing one of the following:

a)  find a way to change the default audio device and use OpenAL as-is 
(offhand, I don't know how to do this)
b)  modify the open source wrapper code to get the behavior you want, or 
some sufficient subset (some changes to the context code, mosty to 
alcOpenDevice -- as long as your code isn't dependent on EFX, this may 
work out)
