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

[Joel Ebel]

Actually, there's one more change I'd like to sneak in here.  The
desktop file is currently configured to run zsnes with -ad sdl which
sets the sound ouput driver to sdl.  I'll never use the desktop file, so
this honestly doesn't affect me, but it bugs me as the wrong way to do
this.  It was probably put in because someone found that sdl worked well
for them, but that's not the best solution for everyone, and it
shouldn't be forced.  Sound is zsnes finicky, and may require any of a
variety of settings.  A user can set the sound configuration the way he
wants in ~/.zsnes/zsnesl.cfg, but the next time he runs zsnes with the
provided desktop file, his config file will get *overwritten* with the
sdl driver as specified in this .desktop file.  I updated the debdiff to
remove the -ad sdl from the .desktop file included in this package so
users can configure the sound as they see fit in their personal config
and not have it overwritten the next time they run zsnes with the
.desktop file.
