alcReopenDeviceSOFT fails with Creative router

[dbregman]

Is it expected behavior that alcReopenDeviceSOFT only works when using the OpenAL-Soft router dll?

Using the original router DLL from https://www.openal.org/downloads/, I create an OpenAL-Soft device: alcIsExtensionPresent(device, "ALC_SOFT_reopen_device") returns TRUE alcGetProcAddress(device, "alcReopenDeviceSOFT") succeeds. but alcReopenDeviceSOFT fails when called.

When using the OpenAL-Soft version of the router, everything works.
