Bug#449328: barrage: fails to start when no audio device is available

[Paul Wise]

Package: barrage
Version: 1.0.2-1
Severity: normal

barrage fails to start when no audio device is available, and fails to
notify the user that there is a problem, other than on the command
line: 

$ barrage
BARRAGE v1.0.2

main loop delay: 0 ms
No available audio device

Users who cannot use the command line will not be able to see this
message. It should start and run normally when there is no audio device
available (just without any sound), or alternatively notify the user
with a GUI message like "No audio device available, press any key to
exit".
