[Ohrrpgce] [ohrrpgce/ohrrpgce] Linux: Package SDL, SDL_mixer in tarballs (#1202)

[Ralph Versteegen]

Although I've just finished building portable libmodplug and libSDL2_mixer for linux, I suppose if we switch to libxmp now it'll still save time later.

I forgot that we had some additional test module music in testfiles/. And my shell history tells me I previously listened to these with the `xmp` commandline player :) 
* loop_test.xm: I can hear that modplug and xmp sound slightly different (the electric guitar 4s in). I don't know which is more correct.
* dreaming_hard_loop_pause_test.xm: the slight unwanted pause at the end when playing with modplug is not there with xmp.

Listening to the tracks in audiotest.rpg (not as closely) I couldn't notice any differences in most tracks, while there certainly are some when playing with mikmod.
* The big exception is song 5 (the only .it track). There is some major difference in first 5 seconds; with modplug there are some clicks and I think something is getting cut out.
* Also, song 10 has a slight pause on loop with modplug, not xmp, like the loop test track.
* There was one slight click about 25s into song 11 with modplug that xmp didn't have.

Very recently libmodplug actually copied some code from xmp to fix a few bugs and inaccuracies. So that's an endorsement.

It seems there tends to be some volume difference between module playback libraries (I previously had to hack around that to get it more similar), but `xmp` and playing in Custom with the volume turned to max are very nearly the same volume.
