Audio: allow frequencies up to 100MHz when using dummy audio driver; avoid changing device samplerate to default samplerate when loading projects; add option to flash transport status yellow on possible audio device underrun; improve various playback/recording behaviors when using background project tabs.

VST: support VST3 extended functionality with Softube Console 1; improve macOS bundleExit VST3 compatibility; improve resize behavior of various plug-ins; send 10 channel speaker arrangements as user-defined; use VST3 parameter IDs for tracking envelopes/parameter modulation across sessions.
Envelopes: add envelope lane mouse modifier context, deprecate preference to respect envelope segment modifiers in envelope lane; remove envelope lane click mouse modifier context, add envelope lane double-click context; add mouse modifier to freehand draw envelope points respecting snap; add actions to reverse envelope points, reduce number of points by half, insert envelope point ignoring snap; fix a few non-working send envelope menu items; add option to prevent mouse edits of single envelope points from moving past other envelope points; preserve envelope curvature during "move envelope segment preserving edge points" edit; preserve envelope curvature when moving points with media items, or within time selection; preserve envelope curvature at time selection edges when initiating envelope segment edit within time selection; improve behavior when freezing/unfreezing with send and pre-fx envelopes; fix initial value when auto-adding FX parameter envelope.
