I think we'd only want to do this for certain keys, not every returned
string. But, Windows doesn't do this. You can edit the registry and
put whatever you want into the device name, and it'll be returned
unmodified:

[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MMDevices\Audio\Render<device_guid>\Properties]
    "{b3f8fa53-0004-438e-9003-51a46e139bfc},6"="A Very Long String...."

I don't immediately have the ability to check if the game crashes on
Windows if I set the string very long, but that's what I would check
next.
