I think the goal here is to "match" the device names as presented by WINMM
in it's waveOutXXX APIs?
It gets a little tricky, because things changed based on whether you are
running Windows XP, ME, 2K, or 98! This is what I have found to work well:
On 2K and 98 (and for non-USB Audio on all platforms): It's okay to use the
"FriendlyName" entry from the "interface" regkey.
On Me and XP (USB Audio only): Use the Location Information
(SPDRP_LOCATION_INFORMATION) from the corresponding "device" regkey.
Thanks.
Devendra.

The string 'USB Audio Device' (or another description) comes from the .inf
file that you use to install the device. If the device is a generic
USB-AUDIO device, and if no custom driver are provided, the string comes
from the default installer and is then : 'USB Audio Device'. You cannot have
something more accurate without a custom inf file.
