Though it's worth thinking about whether or not we _want_ a shutdown
sound.

If the sound is playing in the background during shutdown, it'll get cut
short because we save the mixer settings of the card and mute on the way
down.

If the sound is playing in the foreground, it'll make the shutdown take
longer because we're waiting for the sound to finish playing.
