 20130422
 --------
 main/net_udp.c: In restricted game mode check for player callsign and sockaddr at the same time; Clear Netgame struct each time player enters a new IP in manual join menu
+arch/sdl/rbaudio.c: Added a lot of status messages for RBA code shown with -verbose, hopefully making it easier for users to track down problems and made all RBA messages start with RBAudio prefix
