* OPL: specify the core to use for playing this song
* FluidSynth: specify a soundfont that should be used for playing the song.
* WildMidi: specify a config file that should be used for playing the song.
* Timidity++: specify an executable that should be used for playing the song. At least under Windows this allows using Timidity++ with different configs if the executable and each single config are placed in different directories.
* GUS: currently not operational, but should later also specify the config. This will need some work, because right now this is initialized only when the sound system is initialized.
* all other: no function.
These options should mainly be for end users who want to fine-tune how to play the music.
- When the OPL3 cores were added, DiskWriterIO was never updated to take
into account things like more than two OPL2 chips can be configured.
- DiskWriterIO no longer does any file writing directly. That function has
been split off into an OPLDump class, which has two specializations: one
for RDOS Play, and the other for DOSBox. If one chip is configured, it
dumps for a single OPL2, otherwise it dumps for an OPL3 (effectively
dual OPL2).
- TODO: Figure out why playback of raw OPL files doesn't sound nearly as
good as playing MIDI with the OPL emulation. It's probably something
simple I overlooked.
Instead of the previous method where there'd be a filename and offset, and/or a
memory pointer, this uses a class to access resource data regardless of its
underlying form.
- There exist files where the first word of the version number for DRO v1
files is not 0 but something else completely. (Maybe it's not actually a
version number?) Assume they are valid v1 files as long as the second
word is a 1.
OPL2; OPLwriteReg() will now do nothing when called to act on a chip that doesn't exist. This
is so that it can use the second half of a single OPL3.

but only supports three pan positions and not the full 127 MIDI pan positions.
- Added opl_core cvar to select emulator core. 0 is MAME and 1 is DOSBox.
- Added DOSBox's LGPL OPL core, distantly related to one adlibemu.c written by Ken Silverman
(not to be confused with the ancient MAME-derived and GPL-licensed core also found in DOSBox).
I believe this corresponds to their "compat" emulator, but I'm not sure.

Full stereo panning for the MIDI player. (The raw OPL players are unaffected.) To get the
mono output back, you can set opl_stereo to false.
- Changed SoftSynthMIDIDevice::OpenStream() to allocate the same number of samples for stereo
and mono streams.

so it contained an invalid pointer. There were also a few other places that
simply assumed that the second chip is set to something valid.
- Fixed: NPCs which are engaged in a conversation should not move.
- Fixed: Player movement animation was not stopped when starting a conversation.
