I already rebooted to get sound working again, but I'm quite confident
that PA will wind up shooting itself again sometime today, so I'll check
that when it happens.

I wouldn't think that anything would have the chance to open the sound
device, though, since PA starts up immediately again after being kill
-9'd.  Certainly none of the applications on my desktop were actually
emitting sound, of those that are capable of doing so, until I rebooted.
