RandR isn't exactly verbose in specifying, what an output actually is. So far, two interpretations have been used, with one limitation or another.
Most drivers interpret outputs to be connectors (a), so they have outputs named like
VGA-1 DVI-1
radeonhd instead uses signal routes as outputs (b), so the same set as above is specified as 3 outputs, named
VGA-1 DVI-I_1/analog DVI-I_1/digital
I personally prefer (a) since it seems more logical to me and easier for users to understand. The physical connectors are what the user sees. A lot of people don't really know that DVI-I is really a combination of analog and digital, so it's easy for confusion to arise when you see more outputs listed than connectors on your card.
