I will repeat this for the 3rd time. My code is not tied to
pulseaudio. Portaudio provides a list of devices and each is used
identically to any other with no code changed, all you need to do is
change the id of the device. I set this to pulseaudio for simplicity
but it is in no way tied to it. Picking an audio system to use can be
left to octave user for example.
