Update of RtAudio and RtMidi classes in advance of 4.6.0 release.

Configure was checking for ALSA even if --without-alsa provided.

Fix AC_ARG_WITH usage to be like the manual suggests:

 The Synthesis ToolKit in C++ can be used in a variety of ways, depending on your particular needs.  Some people simply choose the classes they need for a particular project and copy those to their project directory.  Others like to compile and link to a library of object files.  STK was not designed with one particular style of use in mind.
