Details

Make the device switch on audiounit cheaper. Right now we destroy and recreate everything. We can just stop the audiounit, assign the new device id and start it. This will likely improve the device switching experience. For now, it involves a little pause in audio and video.

We've decided not to do this now, and it works well.
