External hardware is supported via two entities:
- a pre-driver (embedded in AL16)
- an external driver (this one)

For each board a specific pre-driver must exists.
For each pre-driver one or more external drivers may exist (but
only can be used during an AL16 session).

The pre-driver has limited knowledge of the board's hardware.
It doesn't know how to 'program' the board but it knows which
kind of 'data' the board can easily manage.
The pre-driver uses the AL16 DSP tools to map AL16 audio tracks
to board-friendly streams regarding samplepoint formats, number
of physical D/A converters, signal clocks,...

A ToccataOut pre-driver is available in AL16. It requires an
external ToccataOut driver to work with.


--- How to use this ---

- Set the AL16 tooltype OUT_DRIVER to ToccataOut.
- Put the ToccataOut driver into AL16's Drivers directory
  to allow AL16 to automatically run it
- Run AL16 and use any playback function you like.
- Quit AL16 to quit the driver.

The driver's executable name must be 'ToccataOut'.
