Yep! that was what i was looking for! If that works i'd rather prefer this 
than the code i already added.

Any example/documentation on how to use such extensions? When should it be 
called? What is the PaAlsa_EnableWatchdog about?

Any equivalent extension to boost priority on windows API's? I found the macro 
paWinMmeUseLowLevelLatencyParameters, How to use it? i confess not knowing 
the real api windows chooses by default (mme? ds? asio?). The main reason for 
us to use portaudio is abstracting from the platform and avoiding ifdefs on 
our code.
