PulseAudio driver crashes when PulseAudio is shutdown during playback

PulseAudio driver crashes when PulseAudio is shutdown during playback. We can not create a unit test for this since it effects other applications.

So the wrapper raises an exception correctly, but kunquat driver does not handle the exception. Is there a way to add test cases for this exception to wrapper tests and to driver tests?
