I will repeat it again: I agree the system should be able to open devices with both friendly and non-friendly names. Open in the plugin already permits it, however, OpenH323 will refuse to start a communication if the device is not returned by GetInputDeviceNames (). I think that should be changed, but not the result of GetInputDeviceNames ().
