Description

Some open source projects I've seen use sorcery to enable run-time loading & hotswapping of different modules. Perhaps that could be done in Barony: Go to the settings menu, 'Audio' tab, and select your preference of FMOD, OpenAL, or something else entirely -- all at runtime.

Dependent on #522

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing audio backend code and the changes in #522. Design a modular plugin interface for audio backends (FMOD, OpenAL) that allows runtime selection.
