There's a function/in-progress extension now with commit e824c808a0662361c9acdd9f97390d2412f21981 for reopening a playback device. ```c if(alcIsExtensionPresent(device, "ALC_SOFTX_reopen_device")) { ALCboolean (ALC_APIENTRY*alcReopenDeviceSOFT)(ALCdevice *device, const ALCchar *name, const ALCint *attribs); alcReopenDeviceSOFT = alcGetProcAddress(device, "alcReopenDeviceSOFT");...
