/// Get the available audio input devices.
/// Thought that would be trivial shit, but this wasn't.
/// - We use NAudio to record the audio
/// - NAudio has its own audio device index
/// - NAudio can't get the full device name because of a M$ limitation
/// - So we use MMDevice instead to enumerate them devices
/// - However their order/index is different
/// - But they have a full device name
/// - And also they have the proper number of audio channels
/// - And basically MMDevice has more stuff in there
/// - So we use a MMDevice list of the available devices
/// - But we order them using the NAudio index
/// Also note that the use of MMDevice is only okay for Win Vista+ OSes.
/// No XP here because of that...
