Move to SDL_mixer for Windows builds? #576

Description

@Hypexion

Currently, Windows builds of DROD uses FMOD as a sound library. This has a few potential issues:

  • FMOD is a proprietary library. Indeed, it's the only library DROD uses that isn't open source
  • The current version of FMOD used by DROD is very outdated, so much so that it isn't available directly via FMOD
  • Having to maintain two versions of the sound system for different platforms is annoying

In terms of building switching to SDL_mixer is (hopeful just) a case of setting a compiler flag. In terms of distribution, it requires the SDL_mixer dll to be inlcuded in installers and store packages.
