One option is to try and add a hint to the setup for the alsa pulse plugin.

I've seen some apps that only show devices where a hint is available and
perhaps this is why is wrong with zoiper?

I've recently added files to upstream alsa-plugins which do this by default:

http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-plugins.git;a=commit;h=84ce9d8230d19ebd67bc8db691bab74c4cbac979

Worth a shot, but it probably is a long one :)
