[RWP] ASIO Settings

[Chris Belle]

Scott, I believe with asio it's always down to the control pannel per your device.

  Here, I've never gotten the buffer settings within Reaper to make a
  noticeable difference. It's always had to be changed in the external
  panel of whatever interface I was using at the time. Am I missing
  something, or do those settings only take effect when there's not an
  external method of setting them. I had hoped they'd be a bit of a work
  around for inaccessible control panels, but seems not from what I've
  seen so far.
