Segfault is no PortAudio devices are available

Trying to use AudioIO if no PortAudio devices are available results in segfaults. It might be good to have more friendly errors.

Did you ever find a work-around for this? I'm experiencing the same thing.

For me, a temporary work-around is to adjust Windows settings. I've made this only a little more robust by changing the Windows power settings for the USB port to avoid any sleeping. The low-power mode was causing the USB sound card to disconnect and gamma crashed. I still have other problems (like if someone physically unplugs the device, it crashes).
