Previously in Audaspace there was choice between linear resampler (okay
for preview, but not great for final mix), or "extremely high quality
preset" for rendering the final mix; with nothing in between. I have just
landed "medium" and "low" resampler quality levels in upstream Audaspace
(see https://github.com/audaspace/audaspace/pull/18 with details and
quality spectograms, also comparison with Audacity resampler).
This PR updates Audaspace to latest upstream, and switches to use the newly
added "medium" quality resampler. There's no audible difference (nor visible
one in spectrograms), as far as I can tell.
Timings, rendering out frames 1000-3000 of Sprite Fright Edit blender
studio data set:
- Windows (Ryzen 5950X, VS2022): 92 -> 73 sec
- Mac (M1 Max, clang 15): 70 -> 62 sec
i.e. using a faster audio resampler makes the _whole render process_ be
10-20% faster (however, this from VSE where it combines already pre-rendered
image strips).

On the blender side this commit fixes importing video files with audio
and video streams that do not share the same start time and duration.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D12353
The duration and start time for audio strips were not correctly read in
audaspace.
Some video files have a "lead in" section of audio that plays before the
video starts playing back. Before this patch, we would play this lead in
audio at the same time as the video started and thus the audio would not
be in sync anymore.
Now the lead in audio is cut off and the duration should be correctly
calculated with this in mind.
If the audio starts after the video, the audio strip is shifted to
account for this, but it will also lead to cut off audio which might not
be wanted. However we don't have a simple way to solve this at this
point.

The issue was that sounds were always faded from 0 volume when they
started and depending on the currently used buffer size, the fading took
longer or shorter.
The solution stores whether the sound has ever been played back and
consequently does not fade when starting to play back.
- Changing API for time values from float to double for better precision.
- Fixing minor mistakes in the documentation.
- Fixing minor unnecessary large memory allocation.
- Fixed uninitialized result used in DynamicMusic::seek().
The comment to this function says false is returned if the handle
is invalid, while in practice non-initialized value will be returned.
- Spelling typos in comment.
- Silence -Wdelete-non-abstract-non-virtual-dtor warning.

This has already been fixed in 8d207cdc3b
as fix for T52472: VSE Audio Volume not set immediately, but I failed to
backport it to upstream audaspace which is the reason the problem was
back.
- Silence now has an optional sample rate parameter.
- Fix: wrong length reported by modulator and superpose.
- Minor formatting, include and documentation fixes.
Deleting the old internal audaspace.
Major changes from there are:
- The whole library was refactored to use C++11.
- Many stability and performance improvements.
- Major Python API refactor:
- Most requested: Play self generated sounds using numpy arrays.
- For games: Sound list, random sounds and dynamic music.
- Writing sounds to files.
- Sequencing API.
- Opening sound devices, eg. Jack.
- Ability to choose different OpenAL devices in the user settings.
