[PD-dev] updating portaudio and portmidi

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

I'd love to try another test version as test3 is really behaving badly in
my mac machine, though this is now supposedly better and fixed by Dan.

anyway, there's one documentation issue you should check out, if not for
the upcoming test release, the final one
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/456

cheers
