Hi.

The problem seems to stem from the WaveIn API, which is typically what's used 
in Windows. It has a limit of 32 characters for the device name, including the 
terminating null char.

OpenAL would need to be changed to use dsound or mmdevapi, when available, 
which should be able to provide the full names.
