[Stk] RtAudio - Read entire file to memory

[TJF]

Hi,

I cannot find the solution for my problem: I want to read an entire 
raw-file to memory and play it. My example here is the basic playraw.cpp.
The problem is, that the new code (s.below the replaced code) could be 
compiled without any problem (i.e. Win) and the program starts without 
problem and it ends without any problems. But it ends immediately. It 
does not play anything. If I do any SLEEP, I can see that the entire 
file is loaded to memory, but will not be played.

Any idea?

Thanks a lot.
Regards
Thomas
