{*
* The default API used by Portaudio is the least common denominator
* and might lack efficiency. In addition it might not even work.
* We use an array named ApiPreferenceOrder with which we define the order of
* preferred APIs to use. The first API-type in the list is tried first.
* If it is not available the next one is tried and so on ...
* If none of the preferred APIs was found the default API (detected by
* portaudio) is used.
*
* Pascal does not permit zero-length static arrays, so you must use paDefaultApi
* as an array's only member if you do not have any preferences.
* You can also append paDefaultApi to a non-zero length preferences array but
* this is optional because the default API is always used as a fallback.

(*
* Tests if the callback works. Some devices can be opened without
* an error but the callback is never called. Calling Pa_StopStream() on such
* a stream freezes USDX then. Probably because the callback-thread is deadlocked
* due to some bug in portaudio. The blocking Pa_ReadStream() and Pa_WriteStream()
* block forever too and though can't be used for testing.
*
* To avoid freezing Pa_AbortStream (or Pa_CloseStream which calls Pa_AbortStream)
* can be used to force the stream to stop. But for some reason this stops debugging
* in gdb with a "no process found" message.
*
* Because freezing devices are non-working devices we test the devices here to
* be able to exclude them from the device-selection list.
*
* Portaudio does not provide any test to check this error case (probably because
* it should not even occur). So we have to open the device, start the stream and
* check if the callback is called (the stream is stopped if the callback is called
* for the first time, so we can poll until the stream is stopped).
*
* Another error that occurs is that some devices (even the default device) might
* work at the beginning but stop after a few calls (maybe 50) of the callback.
* For me this problem occurs with the default output-device. The "dmix" or "front"
* device must be selected instead. Another problem is that (due to a bug in
* portaudio or ALSA) the "front" device is not detected every time portaudio
* is started. Sometimes it needs two or more restarts.
*
* There is no reasonable way to test for these errors. For the first error-case
* we could test if the callback is called 50 times but this can take a second
* for each device and it can fail in the 51st or even 100th callback call then.
*
* The second error-case cannot be tested at all. How should we now that one
* device is missing if portaudio is not even able to detect it.
* We could start and terminate Portaudio for several times and see if the device
* count changes but this is ugly.
*
* Conclusion: We are not able to autodetect a working device with
* portaudio (at least not with the newest v19_20071207) at the moment.
* So we have to provide the possibility to manually select an output device
* in the UltraStar options if we want to use portaudio instead of SDL.
