[RWP] latency in reaper

[Patrick Perdue]

I had one of those. Probably a UB802. The mic preamp on channel 1 died 
after week 1, and I never did anything about it. Just switched to using 
pre 2, and channel 1 for a mono line level input. It worked fine 
otherwise for about five years, until I broke the power supply, a new 
one of which cost more than the board. SO, then I took the board apart 
out of frustration (an unrelated incident) and started throwing bits of 
it everywhere. It was fun.
