pulseaudio plug/slot

[Spencer Parkin]

So I did two things to resolve this, I'm not sure if one of them was
necessary, but...

1) I changed my app command to "env SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulseaudio
desktop-launch $SNAP/bin/[myprog]"
2) I changed the confinement from strict to devmode.

It's probably the latter that solved the problem.  If the snapcraft
developers are interested in testing out why audio doesn't work in strict
mode, they can use my program as an test case, if they cared to.
