That ping switch Lennart proposed, -w 60 or -W 60 doesn't actually
wait if there is no network.

So I've ended up with a shell script:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/bash -c 'for i in `seq 60`; do ping -c 1 -nq
8.8.8.8 && exit; sleep 1; done; exit 1'

Which seems to work, however I can't seem to make
network-online.target depend on pingtest.service with
`RequiredBy=network-online.target` in the pingtest.service file. So
even if pingtest fails, network-online.target ends up being active. :/

With the darkice service file, I ended up with http://sprunge.us/VXRU
Restart=on-failure was needed since sometimes it would fail to start.
No idea why. I can't confirm it was restarted in that cases since
`systemctl status darkice.service` doesn't tell me this.

Another problem is that if someone manages to connect the USB
microphone in the wrong USB port, it fails to start:

Not sure how to wildcard bind the USB GO Mic here. Any tips?


Kind regards,
