If only we had it as easy as they have it. :) We have to deal with all sorts of
weird hardware that exposes its audio hardware in weird ways, with
manufacturers that provide stupid technical gibberish for their device names
instead of user-comprehensible text.

Are those monitors actively connected? If not, that's a clear bug we can fix.
If so, I guess we should try to map the monitor's device to a better name for
it. But be aware that the monitor names that come from manufacturers often
aren't any better than the names that audio devices have.
An easy fix might be to get rid of the device name entirely, so that we don't
have weird long technical mumbo-jumbo in parentheses).
