New ST-Gtk2 snapshot: alsa-1.x driver

Hi everyone!

After some period of silence I'm proud :) to announce new ST-Gtk2 port
at http://metamorph0sis.nm.ru/ Its main feature is working Alsa-1.x
output driver. Sure, it's not complete, buggy and far from perfection,
but it allows to playback sounds using native Alsa-1.x support. It also
can determine and use the capabilities of the particular sound device
(for instance if your card can do 96 kHz, you can play modules with this
sampling rate).

A little instruction how to use this new driver: type the appropriate
sound device in the corresponding field (the default is hw:0,0, the
automatic determination of possible devices is planning) and press
"Test" button. If computer will not hang up, ST will not crash and no
error messages will not appear at the console from where you've run ST
(graphical error dialogs are still not implemented) the ratings will be
set to their maximum possible values. You may correct them if you don't
want to overdrive your CPU and enjoy! :-)

WBR,
Yuru.

P.S. 24 and 32 bit and multichannel (channels > 2) playback still not
supported, because ST mixer still cannot do these.
