WASAPI Event Mode Unsupported

[Hortlak1]

Could the option to disable Event Mode be added? As some systems do not support it. example "wasapiEventMode = false". TIA

I can look into it - PortAudio already has that option so it should be trivial to add in the next release.

I'm a bit curious as to what issue you're having with event mode though. I'm honestly a bit surprised that, in modern Windows, WASAPI event mode would still be seen as less reliable than polling. This WASAPI feature has existed for more than 15 years; I would have expected bugs to have been ironed out by now. It's quite possible you're hitting limitations of the PortAudio WASAPI code as opposed to limitations in WASAPI itself.

Before I proceed with this, I would like to understand what you think is wrong with "event mode", i.e. what the actual problem is so that I can try to reproduce it. This way I can check if it can be fixed (or worked around) in PortAudio itself, which would be a much better solution than adding yet another obscure FlexASIO option and putting the burden on users to figure it out.
