Today, Zen presented a talk on asynportdriver. During the discussion, we talked about aai, aao and waveform and Steph suggested a codeathon task to

combine them all into waveform and have a flag to define your own bptr. I mentioned that this can be done in waveform as is, by freeing bptr.

Here is the init routine that does that (in orange)
