portaudio is significantly easier to implement support

of their own cross-platform efforts, they decided to use portaudio for
windows rather than try to code ASIO support directly (they had already
tamed coreaudio to their satisfaction). it must be possible, but apparently
aspects of it appear daunting.
If Portaudio handles ASIO as it should be done, then it must contain
all the code required to do this. So all that is needed is to re-use
that while removing whatever unnecessary layers put on top of it.
