[Openal] ALUT import for different wav formats

[Tristan Grimmer]

I use Audiere (at tool-time, not-runtime) to process all sorts of 
formats.  It doesn't get updated often, but supports a tonne of formats, 
seems stable, and is open source.  It can load into memory and 
decompress: Ogg Vorbis, MP3, FLAC, uncompressed WAV, AIFF, MOD, S3M, XM, 
and IT. <http://dumb.sourceforge.net/>  It can also play these files, 
but you might want to chop out all the "playing" code and possibly 
remove mp3 support as the licencing is scary.
