[Bug 332794] [NEW] zsnes sound works intermittently on multi-core systems

Binary package hint: zsnes

There is a bug in the threading code of zsnes which causes sound to work
intermittently on multi-core systems which use libao for sound output.
For me sound worked about half the time.  I've attached a debdiff which
fixes this problem.  In the zsnes forums, this problem was first
mentioned here:

http://board.zsnes.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10918

later, zsnes unofficially released 1.51b which fixed this threading
issue, as well as fixed build issues with gcc 4.3+.

The attached debdiff brings the code up to match what's in the 1.51b
package.  Alternatively, we could rebuild the package based directly on
the 1.51b original package, but that would mean diverging more from
debian's package.
