[Openal] OpenalSoft 1.7.411 & malformed version number on ppc G5and i386 macbook ok

[Jason Daly]

The OpenAL device list is a NULL-delimited list, terminated by a 
double-NULL.  This can be a pain to deal with, but it was necessary 
because hardware vendors often like to put any kind of character in 
their device names, including the useful delimiters like spaces, tabs, 
commas, and semicolons.

Try this code (stolen from an old Creative example):


char *deviceList;
char *devices[12];
int numDevices;

deviceList = (char *)alcGetString(NULL, ALC_DEVICE_SPECIFIER);
memset(devices, 0, sizeof(devices));
for (numDevices = 0; numDevices < 12; numDevices++) {
    devices[numDevices] = deviceList;
    deviceList += strlen(deviceList);
    if (deviceList[0] == 0) {
        if (deviceList[1] == 0) {
            break;
        } else {
            deviceList += 1;
        }
    }
}

for (i = 0; i < numDevices; i++)
{
   printf("Device %d:  %s\n", i, devices[i]);
}
