OpenAL output delay

[chrisisonwildcode]

With the wildmidi player there is a significant delay in output with OpenAL when you switch to next file to play (by pressing 'n'). The output from the previous song plays for about a second and a half after the player has switched to the next song.

The issue with the output delay is that the end of the song gets cut off by the player (not the lib) when playing the last midi on the command line list and then exiting. Going to add an OpenAL specific delay before exiting to counter the issue of getting cut off.

A better solution would be to do sound the same way games do so that the sound is pretty much instant. This would also allow for me continue looking at adding the ability for live midi events ...

FWIW, reducing NUM_BUFFERS from 8 to 4 helps it some.

I pushed a patch (to master, also to to DevTest-Updates2 and wildmidi-0.3) to reduce number of buffer from 8 to 4 in openal output. Hope it helps.
