// The vast majority of Linux systems use ALSA for the device-level sound API,
// but an increasing number are using PulseAudio for the application API and
// only using ALSA internally in PulseAudio itself. But like everything on
// Linux this is user-configurable, so we need to support both and choose the
// right one at run-time.
// PulseAudioSoundSystem is designed to only successfully initialize if
// PulseAudio is installed and running, and if it is running then direct device
// access using ALSA typically won't work, so if PulseAudioSoundSystem
// initializes then we choose that. Otherwise we choose ALSA.
