This isn't supported with the OpenAL backend, and instead of trying to make a
workaround for it, a better approach would probably be to make a FileReader
implementation that handles URLs.
This one was particularly nasty because Windows also defines a DWORD, but in Windows it is an unsigned long, not an unsigned int so changing types caused type conflicts and not all could be removed.
Those referring to the Windows type have to be kept, fortunately they are mostly in the Win32 directory, with a handful of exceptions elsewhere.
A major part of this device's implementation details about how to handle the callback were not encapsulated by the device class at all, they were #ifdef'd into the streamer class.
This puts everything into the device class which now exposes a clean interface to the rest of the game with no special handling aside from calling two additional virtual functions that are empty for the other devices
* make the critical section local to the respective platform instead of polluting everything with system specific symbols.
* moved system specific class declarations into the source file instead of having them in the global header.
This commit temporarily disables the Windows system device because it cannot be done without polluting the global header and still needs a bit of refactoring.
libmpg123 spews quite a lot of debug stuff in stdout when encountering files like WAV or Ogg Vorbis, while libsndfile is silent when encountering an MP3 file.
This cuts down on as much message noise as possible, outputs everything to a file specified as a parameter and then quits immediately, allowing this to run from a batch that's supposed to check a larger list of files for errors.
Multiple outputs get appended if the file already exists.
* added global functions that check whether FMod and OpenAL are present, without initializing the sound backend.
* make sound init code more fault tolerant. It will now try to switch between FMod and OpenAL if the currently active one cannot be found but the other one can.
* added 'ifoption' checks for sound backend to menu code.
* only show sound backends which are present and hide the options for the ones which are not.
This required the addition of a few exception handlers so to avoid #ifdef overuse I also added some #defines for non-Windows systems that allow using __try and __except directly in the code without #ifdef'ing them out.
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.
sounds queued up while the Channel Group Target Unit is inactive will all play at the same time
once the unit is made active. To avoid this, it is now only deactivated when the gamestate is
GS_LEVEL. Otherwise, it just gets muted. Fixes http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=33592 "Strife voices overlap"

* Looping sounds that have been playing for a very long time, were evicted,
and then were restarted need to have their positions clamped to lie
within the bounds of the sounds. If we try to set a start position very
far beyond the end, it will overflow inside FMOD and not work.
* A start time of 0 is not actually valid and means the sound was never
assigned a start time.
- The latter bug also reveals a problem with starting looped sounds evicted:
They need to be assigned a start time so if they should have the opportunity
to start later, they will be properly synchronized.
