stephena 1f45ed9744 - Major changes across the board with respect to sound. The sound code ...

has basically been reverted to 1.2 functionality.  The good news is that
the video and audio are always in sync, even in Windows.  The bad news
is that we've lost advanced sound in Pitfall2.  I know what's required to
fix it, but I'm seriously considering doing a new release and waiting
until the release after that to fix it.  Right now (with release 1.3),
most games have laggy sound, even under Linux, but the background music
in Pitfall2 is there.  I'd rather do a new release with Pitfall2 not
completely working, but having everything else working great, than wait
another month or two.  I'm sure most people will agree ...

 - The Windows port has some slight popping every now and then.  Damn, I
really hate Windows sound programming.  It just can't handle low-latency
sound generation as well as Linux (shameless plug).

 - Added options '-fragsize' and '-bufsize', which set the sound fragment
and buffer sizes, respectively.  They're currently set to 512 and 1536,
and this seems to work best.

 - Fixed an error in calling 'putenv' in mainSDL.  Now the Windows port
actually starts with the game window centered.

 - Finally, IMHO (baring Pitfall2) Stella now works better wrt A/V sync
on Linux than z26 does on Windows (a bit of friendly competition :)
