Feature Request: Audio Device Selection #1137

It might be a nice feature to be able to list playback and recording devices available on the computer, so when calling al_create_audio_recorder or al_create_voice.

Potential uses:

VoIP application (Ring on a speakers device, but comms through a headset)
Voice chat over headset whilst game music on main speakers
Multiple players on a single computer getting their own feedback if two headsets were attached (or headset and speakers)
3D surround sound using 2 (or more) stereo devices

I would also like to see this, especially for Raspberry pi...in the hope that it would be possible to output audio to different devices in the same program (I.e. music output through high quality DAC hat, and sound effects through on board audio)
