I will try to update Pd's included copy of portaudio and portmidi. I know from 
another project that the portaudio device string handling has been improved (on 
macOS at least) and longer names are no longer truncated.

One issue with doing this is I've made some changes to both libs in order to 
fix things we've found in Pd. These have been forwarded upstream but I'm not 
sure if they are in any of the newer stable releases. My plan is pull out of 
these that we still need into separate patch files and either write a script 
for updating both libs and/or simple instructions on updating and applying any 
patches. This way we don't have to worry about losing any hard-won fixes while 
still being able to upgrade with new Pd releases. This approach is similar to 
that I've taken with applying the key fixes to TK 8.5.19 for the mac app build.

I'll try to get to this in the next few days.
