Maybe this is a case we need to update alsalib to allow configuration changes
on fly.  This could possibility move the problem out either of our ways.

Really lot of the problem here is alsa has poor hotplug support.   Alsa with
good hotplug support would be a lot more friendly of a beast.

Making alsa work right in a lot of ways is better than having every application
with pulseaudio drivers and alsa drivers.   Since it could now allow
application to change audio servers on fly as well.

This hotplug in alsa support would end lot of the audio disputes.  Again this
provides wine with something it can refer to outside itself that should be
always right.

Do what I am suggesting with Alsa and then pulseaudio could fully stop and give
back raw alsa and raw alsa applications could let go of alsa to let pulseaudio
take over same with any other sound server.  Also possibly doing in the need
for pasuspender.  Ok pulseaudio applications pulseaudio has vamoosed stay in
holding pattern until pulseaudio comes back.

One ABI for audio that works no matter the configure is idea.  ALSA is a little
hard to remove.

Mostly its like the pulseaudio jackaudio dbus handshaken over alsa.   Except
you do this generically in alsalib effecting all alsa applications.   So it
might be a case of right idea done at wrong level.
