We need to make AudioOutputDevice restartable to be able to reuse the audio thread. This is because many sources assume that the same thread will be used and is designed with that limitation. Furthermore, to make all AudioRendererSinks restartable is a goal in itself. (Removes one interface layer.)
This issue is Pri-1 but has already been moved once. Lowering the priority and moving to the next milestone.
