Add support for MMDevice API or WASAPI instead of using ASIO. #202

ASIO is great! when just editing the banks. But, I'd like to pair it with a tracker software to make some tunes. This created a major inconvenience as all the other software is muted.

My system is a Win10 22H2 with Realtek onboard "sound card". When OPL3BE is launched, well it takes over the whole sound card per ASIO standard.

I hope I didn't missed any docs about setting up drivers. If so, pleas close this. Thank you for your amazing software.

Please try out the latest build of the OPL3BE, I already disabled the use of ASIO because of several reported problems including inability to launch the editor because of initialising failures, etc.

One of these issues is #188 and the confirmation that it got been fixed after ASIO support got been eliminaed: https://github.com/Wohlstand/OPL3BankEditor/issues/188#issuecomment-866641195

Closing because everything had been solved:

the WASAPI is being used by default on Vista+
DirectSound or WinMM gets work as fallback on WinXP and older.
