[Octal-dev] last bits

[Dave O'Toole]

This is a partial recap of a discussion that happened on #octal the
other night: 

OX_API is now stable. By this I mean that there are no foreseeable
backward-incompatible changes that would break anyone's plugin code. New
features, like the wave_selector, will still happen (soon.) 

Actually, one tiny exception that is happening this week:

* the return type of ox_create() and ox_track() will now be INT instead
of void, because they need to be removed from the signal network and
declared "zombie machines" if memory allocation happens to fail inside
one of them. This is crucial to making OCTAL more fault-tolerant than
Buzz/Windows for live performance. 

also, a new status enum will be created, so that you can return the
proper error codes.
