[Games] exult + soundpacks

[edit] changed the soundpacks to use the more detailed roland recordings and added digital music package [/edit]

Here are the PKGBUILDs for exult.
I'm amazed no one did it earlier!

use the appropriate sound packs for the game(s) you are going to install. They are NOT required to run the games

you MUST have a copy of either Ultima 7 the black gate, or serpent isle for this to be of any use.

[edit] updated PKGBUILD so everything is in the one PKGBUILD, arch style.. also added to AUR! [/edit]

on my non-hardware-mixer sound card, i was experiencing crashes with SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa
=oss fixed this, other values may also work if it crashes
