Passing parameters using the *userData argument

This sketch demonstrates how to pass command line arguments using the *userData argument inside the setup() function.

In main.cpp we first parse a command line argument -f and allocate its value to the variable frequency. We then pass the address of this variable when we call Bela_initAudio(). The variable can now be accessed from the setup() and render() functions inside render.cpp.
