It means that same kind of device with an ALSA driver is present.
This does not mean that you'll be able to play PCM data to it.  And
there may be software devices available.

snd_card_next() and snd_ctl_pcm_next_device() will give you a list of
hardware devices only.

Usually, you should use the device named "default" and let the user
allow to specify another device name.
