* Fix daemon autostart issue caused by sync pipewire retry loop (#43) (#44)

At boot time, PipeWire takes some time to register the `pwsp-daemon` and `pwsp-virtual-mic` devices. Previously, the daemon's retry loop for `link_player_to_virtual_mic()` was synchronous and limited to 5 attempts (1.5 seconds total). This caused systemd autostarts to fail with a code 1 if the devices were not yet available.

This change replaces the synchronous wait with an asynchronous `tokio::spawn` task. It will retry the link attempt up to 60 times with a 1-second delay without blocking the startup of the rest of the daemon. This prevents it from exiting abruptly during autostart.
