almixer_isolated: ALmixer.c comparison

comparison ALmixer.c @ 3:a929285e1db0

Added CMake build system. There are problems with the SDL_sound module due to changes in CMake. Right now they just seem to be warnings, but I am unable to suppress them. Added license. Added README.

+	 *   Playback gets distorted on the non-pow2 buffer
