The real issue is that the number of unattenuated sounds was unchecked and the near limit never kicked in.
To do this properly it is necessary to adjust the limit distance by the attenuation - zero attenuation must mean infinite distance and for high attenuations the distance must be lowered for limiting to work as intended.
The limit for the Doom boss sounds was increased to 4 to compensate for this change.

What could be done has been moved into the filter directory of game_support.pk3
Unfortunately most of the rest is needed as presets even for custom games so it cannot be fully cleaned up, because the dependencies here and the filter structure do not align 100%.
* sprite offset definitions, which are IWAD dependent
* Freedoom's decal overrides
* conversation ID definitions for the Strife teasers
* the fallback BigFont now can also be loaded by IWADs which declare themselves as GAME_Heretic or GAME_Hexen.
It's "doom.id.doom1/2" instead of "doom.doom1/2" now.
The config file's content will be renamed and for lump filtering a fallback has been added - note that you cannot combine both naming schemes! The old one has to be considered deprecated now.
This also removes the duplicated content necessitated by the old naming scheme.
To make things easier, DBIGFONT, SBIGFONT and HBIGFONT will now be renamed in the lump directory to make things a bit easier to handle.
Another change is to make font folders atomic units to prevent cross-pollution between incompatible fonts. The only exception to this are the def* folders because they need to piece together their fonts from both zd_extra.pk3 and the IWADs.
- ANIMATED contained definitions for Doom, Heretic, and Strife, all
crammed into a single file. This meant that animations from one game
could erroneously make their way into maps for another game that
provided custom textures with names that matched textures that animated
in the other game. There are now three separate ANIMATED lumps with only
the animations defined for the original game and no others. The one
that gets loaded depends on the game being played.
- Added documentation for the ANIMATED file format to the comment for
FTextureManager::InitAnimated(), since I had to figure it out from the
code.
- For when IWADs are too specific, filter by the base gametype too.
- Minor small edits to the sndinfo.txt files so that zipdir will notice
the changes, since it doesn't check path names when checking for
file differences.
- This means the original need for $ifdoom, $ifheretic, etc directives is
no more, but they need to stay for compatibility with third-party wads
that use them.
