[Bf-committers] Soundsystem mess

[Kester Maddock]

I uncommented all that in response to a forum post.

There are some changes to buttons_scene.c & usiblender.c as well.

1. glob = G.  I just #include <BKE_globals.h> and use that.
2. The doppler settings were wrong - dopplervelocity is the parameter in the 
Listener panel (settable from 0 - 10 m/s !!)  I switched that slider to set 
dopplerfactor, and added a slider for dopplervelocity. (Which defaults to 
340.29 - the value you get when you type speed of sound into google)
3. The listener settings are not saved into a blend file.  Not sure how this 
is supposed to work...
