Moving Sound into Core

My suggestion was to take the sound-playing backend which is shared
between finch and pidgin and move it into a separate file with an init
function (similar to a plugin) which can be linked and initialized by
any UI which wishes to use it.  (This may be only Pidgin and Finch.)
