If Pa_Initialize() returns an error code, Pa_Terminate() should
NOT be called.
@note The device list returned by Pa_GetDeviceCount() et al. is frozen
at the time Pa_Initialize() is called, and not updated dynamically, even if
hardware devices (e.g. USB or firewire devices) are connected or disconnected
during the course of the program's lifetime. If it is required to re-scan the
list of devices, one must call Pa_UpdateAvailableDeviceList() or, completely
uninitialize PortAudio using Pa_Terminate(), and then reinitialize it by calling
Pa_Initialize().
@note The device list returned by Pa_GetDeviceCount() et al. is frozen
when Pa_Initialize() is called. The device list is not automatically updated
when hardware devices are connected or disconnected. To refresh the list of devices,
either call Pa_RefreshDeviceList() or uninitialize PortAudio using Pa_Terminate(),
and then reinitialize it by calling Pa_Initialize().
@return paNoError if successful, otherwise an error code indicating the cause
of failure.

/** A unique stable identifier for the duration of device connection,

/** An integer id that uniquely identifies a device, so long as the device is
plugged in and PortAudio is initialized. Its purpose is to identify (correlate)
devices across calls to Pa_RefreshDeviceList().
Each device reported by Pa_GetDeviceInfo() has a distinct connectionId.
PortAudio makes a best-effort to ensure that a persistent underlying device
has the same connectionId before and after a single call to Pa_RefreshDeviceList().
If a device is disconnected and later reconnected it may be assigned a new
connectionId.
