Client crashes on startup after the splash screen is shown.

Here is the client.stderr.log file's content:

Unhandled exception. System.DllNotFoundException: Could not load the dll 'libopenal.so.1' (this load is intercepted, specified in DllImport as 'AL').

I think this might just be some known issue on some linux distros where you have to install/configure openal. E.g., see space-wizards/space-station-14/issues/19671.

Though IMO the launcher should probably check for openal and give a user friendly error message if its missing.

We should be shipping OpenAL instead, I just need to un-spaghettify our native compilation stack.
