Bug Description

I'm sure there's a good reason why a restart is required, but it seems like other audio players are able to switch their output devices while running, so why shouldn't we be able to do it? Unless it's a GST requirement, but I imagine it's probably an internal constraint more than anything else.

Fixed in r4438.

There are some bugs remaining:
  - Rapidly switching the output device causes some odd synchronization problem
  - Changing to a non-working device causes errors that can't be recovered from yet
