The class SoundSource conflicts with a system framework that plib  
links against on Mac.  I had renamed this to TorcsSoundSource but I  
didn't change all of the code where the class was instantiated and  
that was causing the problems.  After correcting this, sound works.

I can change display settings, but only if the application is  
launched from the terminal or from within XCode.  If it is launched  
by Finder, it crashes when trying to apply the new settings.  
Apparently Finder does something funny with argv.  Is anyone familiar  
with this?
