[PD] ASIO with MS Sound Mapper?

Hi!

I have a question regarding the Media menu in pd for Windows. There are 
3 submenus in Media: standard (MMIO), ASIO (via portaudio) and Audio 
Settings. It seems, to be the same window apearing after chosing any of 
these 3 menus. As far as I understand, chosing "ASIO (via portaudio)" 
sets the audio interface to ASIO and I have to chose the proper device 
and click on OK. But the list of the audio devices in ASIO menu contains 
all devices available for MMIO, which leads to the possibility of 
chosing the MS Sound Mapper in ASIO Mode :-) Do you really use the MMIO 
devices in ASIO mode?

By the way, there are some further issues in the UI of Media I don't 
understand:
- "standard (MMIO)" and "ASIO (via portaudio)" are checked if working in 
corresponding mode. But: click on a non-checked menu and clicking on 
"Cancel" leads to a checked menu. I'd expect to "Cancel" the action.
- Because I have "audio settings" I'd expect to get ASIO just checked 
without any further windows (the same for MMIO). If not, what is "Audio 
settings" for?

br, Piotr
