We have been discussing this at the ICMC with Miller, and he said
that this would be a great solution (the new portaudio supports almost
everything that exists).

There are changes to PD necessary though, because there are changes in the
portaudio API.

I think it is better to wait until Portaudio V19 is officially released.
