/tmp/aucat.sock is no more used, the other entries are correct.

We don't have a standard way to enumerate valid devices; hardcoding
a device list this way will stop working the day we change the
device naming. In order to avoid name collisions, the device naming
will have to change as soon as we add new device types to libsndio.
The problem is still unsolved, sorry.

the safest for now is to ask the user to type the device string. If
an application depends on the device list, then provide only one
entry, that is mapped to the NULL string.
