Bump snd_streaming_length from 2 to 40 seconds.

Should increase RAM usage and map load time a bit, but reduce sound decoding
CPU usage (Vorbis decoding) substantially. Expecting this to be a net positive
tradeoff, and should fix issues like #2500 in a much safer way, with no quality
lposs whatsoever.
