OgreAL, Shoggoth and XCode

In order to compile OgreAL on OSX, some changes were necessary:

1. Slight change to an include path

Works for me, hope it helps someone else too.

Oh and don't forget to add "__MACOSX__" to preprocessor macros. It's required by Ogg/os_types.h.

Item #2 above is also necessary for the PC. Thanks for fixing up the code Llarlen!
