Convert sound variables to PlaySound parameters

I've found that the function parameters of PlaySound() differ from the variables usually used for sound. The definitions for ambient sound in Actor are

// Ambient sound.
var(Sound) byte         SoundRadius;	 // Radius of ambient sound.
var(Sound) byte         SoundVolume;	 // Volume of amient sound.
var(Sound) byte         SoundPitch;	 // Sound pitch shift, 64.0=none.

To use these variables in the function PlaySound they need to be scaled:

PlaySound(SoundToPlay, SlotForSound, SoundVolume / 255, SoundNoOverride, SoundRadius, SoundPitch / 64);
