(svn r2728) -Fix/Feature: Change the driver probing algorithm
Instead of trying to start a single driver and bailing out if that fails, try to initialise one by one and use the first one which succeeds.
This should fix problems on machines with no sound card, where -s null had to be specified manually.
Notes about DirectMusic driver for Win32
----------------------------------------

If compiling under MinGW32, you require the DirectX 7.0 files for MinGW32, available from
http://alleg.sourceforge.net/files/dx70_mgw.zip.

If compiling under MSVC 6.0, you require the equivalent for MSVC, available from
http://alleg.sourceforge.net/files/dx70_min.zip. MSVC 7.0/7.1 include header files that
are recent enough.

If you do not want to compile the DirectMusic driver, undefine WIN32_ENABLE_DIRECTMUSIC_SUPPORT
in stdafx.h.

Bugs, etc
---------

- The volume control doesn't work properly. I'll fix this soon.
