the next big steps

[abs1nth]

tried some more to get the new sound engine work on ppc, without success. with my patch all the tests besides one sound filter test pass ( the sound filter results seem to be one off: 343 instead of 342, 520 instead of 519)

however the actual sound output is still all garbage... ;-(

btw. please apply the patch below as i'm away from my machine.
