[Stk] pulseaudio backend for RtAudio

Yes, I think it's a must. It seems like more and more developers are
choosing RtAudio over PortAudio, for example, to provide a portable
audio I/O for their applications. I think it's nice to have such a
library, and it should support as many backends as possible, as long
as it doesn't break anything. Of course, the priority should be given
to backends that are interesting for both pro users and day-to-day
use. (as well as researchers, of course)

Go for it!

By the way, is it planned to split RtAudio and RtMidi from STK, so
that they become respectively their own libraries? That would make
packaging of applications easier, I think.

Thanks,
