Bug Description
Currently, if a sound card is accidentally unplugged while Mixxx is running, the sound stops. That's fine, but when you plug the card back in, you have to go to Sound Hardware, Rescan devices, and Apply in order to get it to play again. This process should be automated so that if an active card goes missing, Mixxx should start scanning the sound devices every half-second or so until the missing device re-appears (or the user opens the sound prefs.) When the device reappears, Mixxx should automatically resume using it without any user interaction.
