It's possibly a problem with enumerating devices, as these names 
certainly don't look right. Though it's odd that the default device 
doesn't match either of these, since that name comes right from the same 
internal list.

If you can, try setting the environment variable ALSOFT_LOGLEVEL to 3, 
and see what the app prints to stderr.
