Try also CDDA

Tested a couple games and it seems like it's much improved!

- Played through the first two worlds in Q*bert with no freezing which I've never been able to do before. The sound effects skip when going through portals but other than that it works great!

- Played songs on the jukebox in KISS Psycho Circus and there was no distortion at all! Also a big improvement as with previous versions there was always distortion.

In general it seems there's much less distortion and when there's an issue like the audio crashing, it fixes itself instead of freezing. Very much like that!

Edit: Roadsters works now! Default settings with TMU1. I'm sure someone might be happy about this. lol :-P

Similar distortions should gone in all games because I found the main reason of it. And I hope it helps for VA0 too.
Sometimes SFX in games can skips because channels are used for CDDA at this time, but this is one-time effects and not often.
Also the loader now recover channels very quickly in conflict situations and it's barely noticeable.

Awesome work SWAT! Just tried out Super Runabout, one of the worst games for distortion, and the music plays flawlessly now! Didn't hear any distortion at all! Amazing!

Edit: Did a test of Worms Armageddon and I can't get it to boot with IRQ enabled. If I disable IRQ, the game will boot but the music doesn't play. Maybe one to look into.

Edit 2:

ChuChu Rocket! is working perfectly now! No more distortion and all the sound effects are working. Still can't play online though as the game still seems to get the wrong hardware ID.

4x4 Evo doesn't freeze at the end of music tracks anymore! As with ChuChu though, I can't play online. It freezes when you try to join a server.
