I've done some debugging around this and have more data.  The code does
initialize 2 mainloops for the 2 channels.  It opens the output channel
first and this is successful.  The hang happens when opening the capture
session. I see an AUTHORIZING event come back and then it hangs.  The
mainloop thread is still running.

Interesting to note, if I switch the order and open the capture session
first it will hang in exactly the same way when opening the output
side. 

Any suggestion on how to debug what's happening in the server and coming
back to the openal library?
