[alsa-devel] "default" device. Is there a way to detect if it's a plugin, and if so which one?

Hi,

If the user opens the "default" device in alsa, is there a way to find out if that "device" is actually a plugin?

i.e. is it possible to tell if you have opened the pulseaudio plugin via alsa?

There are various hacky ways (e.g. checking hints etc.) but that relies on downstream packaging which certainly isn't fool proof.
