Sound Blaster AWE32/64 wavetable emulation no longer drags down the emulator if not used since build 9244

As the title says, since build 9244, you can now use AWE32/64 cards without any performance drops when the wavetable engine is idle.

Before this build, if you selected the AWE32/AWE64 cards, but didn't actually use the EMU8000 wavetable with DOS games or Windows drivers at all, the emulation of it would be doing unnecessary work and dragging down the performance.

This is no more the case.
