The old 'Device not found' error fired for two very different
situations: the device truly missing (unplugged, renamed) vs. present
in /proc/asound but not loadable by CPAL at the requested sample rate
or by the stored name format. The latter sent users on wild goose
chases.
Now we distinguish the cases: if /proc/asound still reports the card,
the message points at the likely causes (rate/format mismatch or
ALSA name mismatch) and suggests the plughw plugin, which is the
workaround we already apply automatically in Fix 2.
