[Stk] Mandolin class

[Gary Scavone]

Hi Liam,

I assume you got the instrument to work using the demo project?

After a quick pass through your program, it looks fine.  Perhaps the 
amplitude gain is a little low?  What sort of sound are you getting?  
If it's just noise, then perhaps you're missing the __LITTLE_ENDIAN__ 
preprocessor definition (needed by WvOut).
