On occasion I restart sndiod which causes i3status to stop reporting the
volume level. The below patch resets initialized after a disconnect so
on the next poll i3status will attempt to reconnect to the new sndiod.
I opted against resetting initialized in cleanup so a failure in init
won't be retried.
