Significant changes

• The default backend used by FlexASIO has changed from WASAPI Shared to DirectSound.
  • The goal of this change is to reduce user frustration by making it more likely that FlexASIO will "just work" out of the box; this sidesteps the whole sample rate shenanigans that were required to make WASAPI Shared work.
  • Note that this has significant implications in terms of latency and the overall behaviour of the audio pipeline; see BACKENDS for details.
  • To go back to the previous WASAPI Shared backend, simply set backend = "Windows WASAPI" in your configuration file (see below).
• FlexASIO behaviour can now be customized using a configuration file. See CONFIGURATION for details.
• New configuration option: backend, which can be used to change the backend that FlexASIO uses. It can be set to any PortAudio-supported host API, such as MME, DirectSound, WASAPI, or WDM-KS. See BACKENDS for details.
• New configuration option: wasapiExclusiveMode, which can be used to choose between the shared and exclusive WASAPI modes.

Minor changes

• Attempting to open the FlexASIO "control panel" (settings button) will now display the configuration documentation, instead of doing nothing.
• Fix a FlexASIOTest crash when driver initialization fails.
