The real issue is that the number of unattenuated sounds was unchecked and the near limit never kicked in.
To do this properly it is necessary to adjust the limit distance by the attenuation - zero attenuation must mean infinite distance and for high attenuations the distance must be lowered for limiting to work as intended.
The limit for the Doom boss sounds was increased to 4 to compensate for this change.

Backported from Raze - without this there is no way to implement sounds that can unload themselves, because the existing ChannelEnded function is called when the sound is still active.

- Sets the direct pitch of the sound to the specific float. Default is 0.0, meaning do not set a specific pitch. Regular pitch is 1.0.
- Only works for direct sound definitions.
- Overrides $PitchShift unless value is <= 0.0
- Overridden by A_StartSound's pitch parameter if the value > 0.0.
With CHANF_OVERLAP this isn't needed anymore - any sound started on CHAN_AUTO can actually play on this channel with overlap implicitly allowed.
This has the added advantage that these sounds can be reliably accessed with other function by using CHAN_AUTO.
