{*
 * 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.
