D2X-XL mp3/OGG support

The good news:

I have added playlist support for using your own mp3/OGG music files in D2X-XL, and basically it works.

The bad news:

SDL_mixer needs a file named smpeg.dll to play mp3s. It comes with such a file, but playing mp3 with SDL_mixer results in completely distorted static. So I tried OGG. Had to get ogg.dll and vorbisfile.dll from the inet. SDL_mixer tries to use a function in ogg.dll (via vorbisfile.dll) that is not contained in it.

Edit: I could fix the OGG bug (by recompiling the OGG/Vorbis source code) but not yet the mp3 problem.

I would suggest just focusing on OGG. Most games use OGG today, mainly because the MP3 codec is not open source.

Thx Crazy, I don't need an encoder, all I need is a decoding DLL. Or does Lame comprise one, too?

/me goes to check more

Hm. I think Lame is only to create mp3 files from other audio file formats, not for mp3 playback.
