Hi.

How were you selecting the devices? OpenAL Soft should only enumerate the 
available hw:x,y devices, as well as the 'default' device, from ALSA. The 
"front" and "rear" plug devices shouldn't have been listed.

Semi-recent versions of OpenAL Soft changed it so the separate hardware 
devices will only be listed with the ALC_ENUMERATE_ALL_EXT extension, though 
the device-specific strings will still work as long as the app passes them 
through (use the openal-info utility to see what OpenAL Soft will recognize).
