Description
Now that Snowberry is being removed, the audio plugin selection should be provided at runtime. Ideally Doomsday should dynamically (un)load the chosen audio plugin, although asking to user to restart is also an option.

If the plugin switch is done while in Home, it should be much easier to re-initialize the audio subsystem (it's not being used).

The plan is to add a simple ChoiceWidget in Audio Settings with instructions to restart Doomsday for the plugin change to take effect.

The only missing feature now is to re-initialize the audio subsystem to switch audio plugins at runtime (at least when a game is not loaded).

Audio|UI|Client: Selecting audio plugins in the Audio Settings dialog
The preferred audio interfaces are now configured via Config
variables. This can still be overridden with command line options,
in which case the dialog values do not have any effect.
Audio Settings is now available even when a game is not loaded.
The Dummy driver now provides Music and CD interfaces, too, to allow
disabling them individually.
