It's the problem we've had from the beginning.  If the open fails, PA
can't detect the PCM device at probe time, and it's gone forever until
PA gets restarted.  It's no hotplug device, thus the PCM streams are
determined only once.

So, the open and co are accepted even without the connection but the
actual playback fails -- it's implemented in that way as a
workaround for PA.
