[Rwp] different driver modes in reaper

[Chris Belle]

Is this in asio mode as well?

Doesn't seem to work for my steinberg or audiobox USB.
but I need to dig and varify that for absolutely sure becaue I tend to 
just hit the control pannel, but it sure works for wasapi mode.
All the way down to 32.
Nice.
