Positional audio

[dorkster]

It might be nice to mix sound effects in a way that we can determine, at the very least, what side of the screen they are coming from. This may be as "simple" as panning left/right by a factor of the distance from the center of the screen.

Also, we'd probably want to handle if the origin point is moving (i.e. a projectile spell).

In particular, if going the SDL3 path, there's an interesting function MIX_SetTrack3DPosition https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL3_mixer/MIX_SetTrack3DPosition which has a second argument of const MIX_Point3D - "the new 3D position for the track".
