Bug Description
Add a callback watchdog to SoundDevicePort
* Start a timer on a 2-5s interval.
* Callbacks record their time in member state or reset a PerformanceTimer.
* If a callback has not been received within those 2-5s, the watchdog should:
1) Notify the user via a pop-up that a sound device is not responding.
2) Pop sound hardware preference section.
This would help notify users when a device they chose doesn't work or stops working (gets unplugged).

We could also trap USB connect / disconnect events, that might be less overhead than a watchdog. (I guess someone might be using a firewire sound card though)
