 Changes since V1.8:
   - corrupted animations are now recognized and rejected
   - fixed a bad bug with ADPCM samples that produced bad listening sound or
     even crashes.
   - again fixed some audio bugs!! When will this nightmare end??
   - fixed crash with YUV2 animations (wrong buffer size)
   - fixed some Mungwall hits
   - sound playback now also works with changed video speed (e.g. MAXFPS)
     without stocking video
   - added support for DVI ADPCM 4 bit mono samples (Intel)
   - removed support for SetPatch V43, because now only CyberGraphX calls are
     used. CyberGraphX3 gives *GREAT* speed improvement with 8bit video!
   - fixed a problem with audio-video-AVIs (video-audio is normal), but this is
     still not perfect
   - improved automatical screenmode selection. Sometimes too small modes were
     selected when animation's dimensions were somewhat strange.
   - fixed delayed reaction when changing playback speed
   - improved detection of delayed frames. Now there should be no more remaining
     pixels from former frames.
   - improved error handling in "out of memory" situations
   - hopefully fixed last problems with screenmode selection.
     eg: 240x300 animations should be shown on a 640x480 screen instead of a
         320x240 screen.
   - fixed some skippinig problems with "keyframe-only" AVIs
