Adjusted default choice of audio driver. If a driver can definitely see available devices, it is chosen. Otherwise, we'll take the first driver that initializes but saw no devices...this might be because it can't enumerate them, or there really aren't any available. This prevents the dsp driver from hogging control when there are no /dev/dsp* nodes (for example, on a Linux box with ALSA and no OSS emulation).

This library is designed to make it easy to write games that run on many
different platforms using the various native high-performance media interfaces,
(for video, audio, etc) and presenting a single source-code level API to
your application.  This is a fairly low level API, but using this, completely
portable applications can be written with a great deal of flexibility.
