I'm using OpenAL-Soft version 1.4.272 on Linux (SLED10) with ALSA
1.0.11.

I have 2 sound cards, one of which is an SB Audigy LS.

I want to be able to choose which output of the SB Audigy is used
(without changing the default device).  When I enumerate the devices the
list I get looks like this:

Available playback devices:
    ALSA Software on default
    ALSA Software on CA0106 [CA0106]
    ALSA Software on CA0106 [CA0106]
    ALSA Software on CA0106 [CA0106]
    ALSA Software on CA0106 [CA0106]
    ALSA Software on Intel ICH6 [Intel ICH6]
    ALSA Software on Intel ICH6 [Intel ICH6 - IEC958]
    OSS Software
    Wave File Writer

As you can see, there are several entries that have the same name.  How
do I open the 2nd (3rd, ...) one?
