On systems where ALSA is enabled, I believe it is the default, so unless you 
changed the default device with ~/.openalrc, just passing NULL would be 
sufficient. Multiple calls to alcOpenDevice(NULL) would open multiple ALSA 
devices. If you wanted to make sure, you'd open:
"'((devices '(alsa))"
or using a recent SVN:
"Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA)"

Unless you mean which specific ALSA device (eg. hw:0,0 or dmix or something), 
you can either put this in ~/.openalrc:
(define alsa-out-device "device-name-here")
or call alcOpenDevice with (I think):
"'((devices '(alsa) alsa-out-device "device-name-here"))"
but I'm not positive about that one since I'm rather confused about the 
formatting going on there.
