directsoundsrc: device-name doesn't accept windows given names if there are special characters in

Submitted by Thomas Roos

Link to original bug (#748681)

Description

device-name doesn't accept windows given names if there are special characters in - eg. german "(High Definition Audio-Gerät)". But works if you change the naming in windows registry, which is only possible for testing purposes. May an device-ID (GUID) based solution is needed!?
