 *
 * If nb_device_spec_strings == 0, all busses are scanned for attached devices, and
 * all found devices that are supported are combined into one large pseudo-device. The
 * device order is defined by the GUID of the device. Devices with lower GUID's will
 * be the first ones.
 *
 * If multiple device specifications are present, the device order is defined as follows:
 *  - device(s) that correspond to a spec string with a lower index will be added before
 *    devices from higher indexes.
 *  - if a spec string results in multiple devices, they are sorted by GUID unless the
 *    spec format dictates otherwise.
 *
 * The actual meaning of the device specification should be one of the following:
 * - Format 1: "hw:x[,y[,z]]"
 *     x = the firewire bus to use ('port' in raw1394 terminology)
 *         (mandatory)
 *     y = the node id the device currently has (bus resets might change that, but FFADO 
 *         will track these changes and keep using the device specified on startup)
 *         (optional)
 *     z = the stream direction to use.
 *           0 => capture (record) channels only
 *           1 => playback channels only
 *           other/unspecified => both playback and capture
 *         (optional)
 *
 * - Format 2: the device alias as defined in the ffado config file (UNIMPLEMENTED)
