[PD-dev] Tentative fix for the -nogui no-sound problem

[Chrissie Caulfield]

As I understand it, the zero sample rate happens simply because the
variables that are queried by plugins (specifically sys_dacsr) are
initialised after the plugins are loaded.

Loading the GUI forces the audio settings to be initialised earlier so
the problem doesn't happen under 'normal' conditions.

I remember that seemed to be one of the behaviors related to this.  Its probably something we want to prevent from happening, unless someone can explain why Pd announcing the sample rate as 0 is useful.
