I had been thinking about how to do it for a bit now. The actual disconnect 
handling wasn't hard (although it had the casualty of losing direct ALSA mmap 
capture), but the device list updating was a bit more involved.

But it should now detect device changes too, at least insofar as the various 
APIs (ALSA, DSound, WinMM) will automatically update the available devices 
while loaded. Haven't been able to directly try it since I don't have any hot-
pluggable devices, but all my existing stuff seems to work.
