Done. Only problem is that now a device of mine that should be called
"Microphone Array (Intel® Smart Sound Technology (Intel® SST))" is
instead printed as "Intel® Smart Sound Technology (Intel® SST)".
Since devices are selected by name for some avdevices (dshow), thats
an issue.

Googling tells me that printing UTF-8 (which is whats returned by
dshow's get_device_list) with printf is complicated to say the least
on Windows. It all works when logging because log.c has implemented
win_console_puts(), which looks like it would be easy to make
available more broadly.

Do you see a solution that would allow printing the device name correctly?

Thanks!
