This PR adds a new backend that wraps the sounddevice python package. Currently, the sounddevice package is just imported through
requirements.txt, as I was unsure if or how to add it as an optional dependency. Any new Aserver tries to use the new sounddevice backend over the previous pyaudio backend.One benefit of sounddevice over pyaudio is that it can refresh the device list from within an IPython Notebook without needing to reload the kernel. For example:
The PR also involves an internal restructuring of the AserverGUI, as the previous version was unable to handle a changing device list. One change in behavior compared to before is that the GUI now instantly initializes the default server, when previously it would only do so after the user clicked the "(re)boot" button once.
