Issue #19987: disable test_winsound's test_alias_fallback test when no sound card

This is a little odd, since it seems that that buildbot doesn't have a sound card (according to _have_soundcard), but succeeded in playing a sound...although without an ear in the room, we have no way to tell if a sound was played or not.  I'm thinking it may be most sane to rewrite the test to call PlaySound in a `try: ... except RuntimeError:` block, and add a comment saying that either outcome is acceptable; a failure would be any other error.

Zach, that sounds like a really good plan.

I'll get it committed shortly, thanks Christian.

The revised test passes on that buildbot on 3.3 and 3.x; the 2.7 build is having permissions issues (and seems to have been for some time).  Closing the issue.

Thanks for pointing it out and approving the rewrite, Christian!
