[sdlsound] SMPEG

[Ted Kulp]

Thanks for your help.  Time for me to figure out how to do sound in SDL. 
I'm still using libao from when the program was ogg only.  I only put SDL
in to use SDL_sound (and get easy MP3 support).  Guess it's time to rip
out the libao stuff and go SDL only.

Thanks again,
Ted
