[hpsdr] Balanced audio on future boards

[Jim Barber]

There's nothing wrong with that, but it leaves out remote use and other
platforms like Linux, Android, MacOS and IOS.

Also, the last time I used it ASIO was proprietary to Steinberg and not
appropriate for distribution with open-source
software. I don't know if it's still that way but since Audacity still
doesn't support ASIO I suspect so.
