[sldev] [PATCH] FMOD Ex support for the sl viewer

Hi,

since I wanted sl viewer sound to work for my Linux x86_64 system and 
did not know about the existing OpenAL patch I started porting the FMOD 
3 library calls to FMOD (Ex) 4.

The result works so far (including wind and internet streams) but needs 
some more fine tuning, especially seeing if the setup is working on all 
systems and I still saw some error messages due to using already 
freed/reused handles. I also have no idea if it works on any other 
system than Linux x86-64.

Anyway, I've been using it for many days now on my system, got no 
segfaults (in the related code) and sound keeps working fine.

The patch and a short description is at http://sl.mebsuta.de

I'm not aiming at having this integrated into the official sources since 
I believe an open source solution would be more satisfying in the long 
run but hopefully until this is done it might make the experience more 
joyful to the group of 64 bit users (like me).


Regards,
Carsten
