advanced sound options menu. Removed opl_enable from the menu.
- Added OPL synth as MIDI device -3. Since this is based on the MUS player
code, it only supports those events and controllers supported by MUS.
Some of Duke's MIDIs sound awful, but I think that may be more because
it's using different instruments... There's a thread in the MIDI streamer
class that could be taken out for Linux, since it doesn't need to deal
with the Windows Multimedia API, but for now, this is still Windows-only.

for FMOD Ex while at the same time removing support for FMOD 3. Be sure to update
your SDKs. GCC users, be sure to do a "make cleandep && make clean" before
building, or you will likely get inexplicable errors.
- Fixed: If you wanted to make cleandep with MinGW, you had to specifically
specify Makefile.mingw as the makefile to use.
- Added a normalizer to the OPL synth. It helped bring up the volume a little,
but not nearly as much as I would have liked.
- Removed MIDI Mapper references. It doesn't work with the stream API, and
it doesn't really exist on NT kernels, either.
- Reworked music volume: Except for MIDI, all music volume is controlled
through GSnd and not at the individual song level.
- Removed the mididevice global variable.
- Removed snd_midivolume. Now that all music uses a linear volume scale,
there's no need for two separate music volume controls.
- Increased snd_samplerate default up to 48000.
- Added snd_format, defaulting to "PCM-16".
- Added snd_speakermode, defaulting to "Auto".
- Replaced snd_fpu with snd_resampler, defaulting to "Linear".
- Bumped the snd_channels default up from a pitiful 12 to 32.
- Changed snd_3d default to true. The new cvar snd_hw3d determines if
hardware 3D support is used and default to false.
- Removed the libFLAC source, since FMOD Ex has native FLAC support.
- Removed the altsound code, since it was terribly gimped in comparison to
the FMOD code. It's original purpose was to have been as a springboard for
writing a non-FMOD sound system for Unix-y systems, but that never
happened.
- Finished preliminary FMOD Ex support.

class so they all the low-level details of MIDI streaming are kept in
one place.
- Converted the SMF MIDI playback to use the same MIDI streams as MUS
playback.
- Moved MUS playback back into its own thread so that it can continue
uninterrupted if the main thread is too busy to service it in a timely
manner.
- Fixed: The MEVT_* values are not defined shifted into their spot for a
MIDIEVENT, so I need to do it myself.
- Fixed: Pausing a MUS and the changing snd_midivolume caused the paused
notes to become audible.

of ZDoom, except now the entire song isn't prebuffered in large chunks, so
I can insert MIDI events into the playback with fairly low latency. This
should offer more precise timing than the combination of low-level MIDI and
WaitForSingleObject timeouts.

behind because it couldn't delete them.
- added a $MidiDevice option to SNDINFO which can either set the preferred
MIDI device for a song to Timidity or Windows' standard MIDI device.
The reason for this: About 80% of my MIDI music collection sounds better
with Timidity and the other 20% with Windows' standard synth and I'd like
to be able to use each with the one that sounds better. For MUS files you
can also force the use of OPL playback.
- added telefrag option to A_SpawnItemEx.
