[Rwp] setting optimal sample rate and depth/rendering etc

[Chris Belle]

I'll have to experiment, but what makes me nervous is that when I push 
that button, I don't think it changes the settings in the dialogue in 
preferences.
device.
So that makes me think you can change it both places,
whether it matches yoursoundcard abilities or not.

For instance, you can set 8 bit recording in soundforge,
even though your audio device might not support it directly, so when 
ever possible, I want to see what's really going on, and not be faked out.

So I wish this sort of stuff was a global setting strictly.

Or that project settings tended to follow the global settings.
in sonar they do unless you force a difference.
But two different animals, two different ways of doing things.
