Multiple, Simultaneous Oauth in a Rails Application?

Question

My end goal is for users to have multiple 3rd party authentications at the same time.

Right now, I am using Devise to create users. Users can sign up via email or facebook or google and it works. But now, after they have already signed up, I need them to also verify with, say, youtube or soundcloud. So the user was created with devise, but I also need them to verify with other things.

Since Devise hogs omniauth for it's own purposes, I can't use omniauth on the side.

As I see it I have three options:

• Try to monkeypatch devise and get it to allow multiple authentications at the same time on one user
• Do oauth by hand on the side adjacent to current Devise implementation
• Scrap Devise and do something different

I would greatly appreciate any advice or other options
