decoder/vorbis: skip 16 bit quantisation, provide float samples

Internally the vorbis (non-Tremor) decoder is working in floating
point, and it's not really necessary to cut the output back to 16-bit
if the soundcard or OS supports higher resolution.

The decoder can be trivially modified to bypass its internal
quantisation and produce floating-point output, and a separate
quantisation can be used as appropriate to the platform.
