Fix drop in volume when shooting into a Brains power screen.

Browse source 
If too many of these sounds are started in one frame (for example if the
player shoots with the super shotgun into the power screen of a Brain)
things get too loud and OpenAL is forced to scale the volume of several
other sounds and the background music down. That leads to a noticable
and annoying drop in the overall volume.

Work around that by limiting the number of sounds started. 16 was
choosen by empirical testing.
