     The community has reported that this seems to fix the crash. There are future plans to move all WASAPI operation
     over to a single thread to make everything safer, but in the meantime while we wait for that to come online I'm
     happy enough to use this hack instead.

+    CoUninitialize should only be called if we successfully initialized. S_OK and S_FALSE both mean that we need to
+    call CoUninitialize since the internal ref count was increased. RPC_E_CHANGED_MODE means that CoInitializeEx was
+    called with a different COINIT value, and we don't call CoUninitialize in that case. Other errors are possible,
+    so we check for S_OK and S_FALSE specifically.
