Subject: [PATCH] Let the device listing match ffmpeg 8's bracket prefix

The dshow parser pinned the bracketed prefix to the `[dshow @ ...]` the
older builds print, and ffmpeg 8 writes `[in#0 @ ...]` there instead: on a
current install every line fell through the anchors, the device list came
back empty, and a dictation with no microphone picked could not start at
all. The prefix is now any bracketed tag, which the anchors and the quoted
name still keep apart from the error lines. Pinned with a listing taken
verbatim from ffmpeg 8.1.2 on Windows 11, third kind marker `(none)`
included.
