Reply to Dink Smallwood v1.08 Aural+

After tinkering with the source code for a good chunk of today, I present: Dink Smallwood v1.08 Aural+.
* No midi lag in Windows 2000 / XP.
* Automatic MP3 support (i.e. if you try to play 101.mid, it will try to play 101.mp3 first).
* Custom MP3/Anything support (i.e. playmidi("gorillaz.mp3") or playmidi("gorillaz.wav") might work).
WARNING: This has only been tested on my machine. It seems to work well enough. I know it requires a recent version of DirectX, but I don't know what version.
Oh, and thanks to Merlin for sending me code (a few months ago) for fixing the midi-lag issue with DirectMusic. I didn't end up using it for Aural+ because of some DirectMusic issues, but it certainly helped get things rolling.
