This should eliminate the crackling with alsa and pulseaudio backends and replace it
with much nicer pauses. This is only interesting for audio backends that do not
respect Mixer::GetNumSamples() and should not impact users able to run the DSPLLE at
full speed.
The cost of this is an added LLE audio latency of about 0.06 s in the continuous
playback case. If that is too much, lower the low watermark.

. Performance boost
(Completely non-blocking between Sound thread and CPU thread, in the meantime keeping them thread safe)
. Both 32KHz & 48KHz sound can be handled properly now
(But up-sampling is still not implemented, and I don't think any game requires it.)
. Strategy adjustment
When your PC is *NOT* capable to run the game at 100%:
>> DSound Could yield more fluent sound than OpenAL sometimes, but you will lose the sync between video & audio (since audio is played before video to guarantee fluency)
>> OpenAL Ensures video & audio are always sync'ed, but sound could be intermittent(to let slow video catch up)
. Changed default frame limit to: Auto
(Somehow this can dramatically decrease the chance of wiimote desync in game NSMB)

. Fixed Sample Rate for DSP
(Now if your CPU is capable to run game at 100%, you will get pure sound without buzz or static noise)
. Fixed Sample Rate for AI
(Now if your CPU is capable to run game at 100%, you will get sync'ed video and audio)
. Fixed Backend list for DSPLLE
. Improved Aduio DMA a bit
(There might be a completely redesign in following phases)
WARNING: The whole rework will take time to complete.
This commit is compilable, but could be unstable.
So you can try it and test it but don't take it as a release rev!

But Dolphin's sound stream system really needs a rethink.
Because this is the root cause of constant blocking.
