* Fix for freeze when freeing a stream after BASS_ChannelSetLink failed with BASS_ERROR_ALREADY on it
	BASS_ChannelSetLink
* "MP3-FREE" version removed (MP3 patents expired)

Apparently there is no mp3-free version from now on, because the mp3 patents expired in 2017. I hope that is not a problem. Other important changes might be the Windows 10 20H1 fix and the BASS_Init changes. I think that should be a fairly easy to Update as like as the other versions (#1549, #1266, #1071). My drop-in-test worked. I'm not sure if a version with the custom fixes is still needed, though.

@Kefta Much appreciated. Would love to see this this update patched into the game.

Those points definitely make the deal for me.

* Internet streams use HTTP/1.1 instead of HTTP/1.0
* Auto-reconnecting when a download stops before the end
* Error code for when access is denied
* Fix for IPv6 addresses in URLs on Windows/Linux/Android

Is it better to open up a new issue for this or can we just stick with this one?

I'd like to add that the current version of libbass.so included in the linux native build of Garry's Mod x86-64 does not work as of today, manually updating to the latest upstream version fixes the issue.

I will the leave feedback from Rubat on Discord here, for everyone wondering about the state of this issue. Apparently there are some issues on Un4seen's (the company behind BASS) side requiring additional developer contactings / extra debugging delaying Rubat from updating it.
