Just a detail: I do no propose switching to the standard dummy driver.
It should be sufficient to implement a variation of the freewheeling mode.

The use case I had in mind is to recover quickly from an accidental
disconnect. I remember at least two times in a 'live' situation someone
pulling the power lead to an external sound card. It's kind of silly
that even 'pro' gear which has XLRs for the audio uses a $0.50 plastic 
connector and a flimsy cable for the wall wart...
