Tweaked the pulseaudio driver to check whenever the damon pidfile is
present before trying to initialize. With that in place we can move
pulse to be first in the list, without having pulse throwing error
messages when it can't connect the server.
So the linux ordering is this now:
audio_drv_list="try-pa try-alsa try-sdl oss"
Requests / suggestions for other guests?
Probing pulseaudio first probably makes sense everywhere (when
available). Most BSDs have both sdl and oss, which one should be
preferred here?
cheers,
Gerd
