[PD] ASIO support

[Michael Casey]

Johannes,

Perhaps the current output buffer is emptying before PD can fill the next
buffer, this might be causing the broken sound. To fix, try increasing the
buffer size...

#define FRAMES_PER_BUFFER (256)

or

#define FRAMES_PERBUFFER (512)

This parameter will be dependent on the specific sound card. (126) works
for a digigram VX pocket because that's the buffer granularity. Such low
latencies work with simple patches, for more computationally intensive
patches (252 / 256) or (504 / 512) are necessary.
