I would say your sound API lying to the user is unacceptable. If the device is
not backed by pulse, then why does it claim to be backed by pulse? Although I
guess I should know better than to expect sane behavior from audio APIs by now.

I guess I'm okay with taking Option 1 here. I guess I'll add a note to the
Sound wiki page explaining why users have their sound drop after a few minutes,
and that they must upgrade their sound packages to fix it.

I'd prefer not to use the _ONCE-style functionality. It keeps the code a little
cleaner, and I have no objection to being very loud about this failure (i.e. a
pulse-backed device that doesn't allow handle_underrun).
