It's not returning a pointer to something on the stack. It is returning driversFound[0] which is a pointer to a string which may have been malloc()'ed (you stripped that part of the code).
char *audioAutoDetect(void) { [snip] char *driversFound[10]; [snip]
maybe driversFound[0]=malloc(something);
return driversFound[0]; [snip] }
