[Rwp] different driver modes in reaper

Well, I tried out another USB interface I have here, and also the 
steinberg in sonar, and well, I think that for what ever reason, the 
audio system on this machine is dogging down in windows 10.
How ever, on my explorations, I've discovered somem interesting things.
I didn't think reaper really supported wdm as an option,
but when I was testing the presonus audiobox USB, it showed up, and lo 
and behold, it works like sonar does with class compliant devices now, and
you're able to change buffer sizes and such in a really accessible way.
Now wdm I think with class compliant devices is usually limited to 44.1 
or 48k depending, and 16 bit, so I usually don't bother with it you get 
better results with asio anyway,
and it's usually more stable, and generally a more professional system, 
but it's nice to see that reaper now allows this sort of support for 
other driver modes.
Just for giggles, I'm going to see if it shows up for the internal card.
The other reason I'm interested in this generic mode of wdm is that the 
asio pannel in the audiobox USB didn't show a thing with NVDA so I'm 
going to have to try it with another screen reader,
because I can't change a thing in there, and  it's set to some 
ridiculously relaxed place llike 512 or 1024 from the way it acts.
Fun times.
