ncspot/portaudio: Stream drop error: PortAudio not initialized

Playing music in ncspot reliably stops after some time with
"Stream drop error: PortAudio not initialized".

Not sure when this started to happen, but I remember times when there was no
such issue and I could listen for hours without error. Now audio usually
stops after a few tracks.

I'm running ncspot 0.9.5 on an X230 with internal audio, no sndiod flags or
fancy audio devices.

Once this error occurs, I can just start playing again and ncspot recovers
without restart.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on where to start with this?

At least mumble also uses portaudio, but I've never experienced the same
error there.
