Docs: correct RemSound's origin story (true remote-audio-monitoring use)

Browse Source 
The manual intro and the repo README both carried an invented origin (a guitarist
and singer playing together, "built by a sound designer"). RemSound was actually
built to hear the audio from a powerful computer while working remotely from a
lighter one — other programs can move audio between PCs, but none did it quite the
way Ed wanted. Reworded the manual opening (readme.html) and the README audience
and "Who made this" lines to tell one true, consistent story in Ed's voice. The
music-together and podcast uses stay as the genuine secondary use cases they are.

readme.html ships to users on the next release; README/MANUAL update on push.

RemSound is for musicians, sound designers, podcasters, and anyone else who wants to share audio between two Windows machines with as little delay as possible.
RemSound is for anyone who wants to get live audio from one Windows PC to another with as little delay as possible — listening to one machine while you work at another, playing music together over the internet, co-hosting a podcast, and plenty more besides.
You sit at one computer, RemSound captures whatever is playing — a track in your music software, a video call, system sound from anything else running — and sends it cleanly to another computer where it plays through speakers or headphones in real time. The person at the other end hears what you're hearing, with a delay measured in milliseconds rather than seconds.

## Who made this
RemSound was built by a sound designer who wanted to listen to one of his computers while sitting at another, and couldn't find anything else that fit the bill. It's free, open-source, and yours to use however you like.
RemSound was built to solve a specific problem: hearing the audio from a powerful computer while sitting at a lighter one, with that powerful machine running remotely. There are other programs that can move audio between PCs, but none of them did it quite the way I wanted, so I built my own. It's free, open-source, and yours to use however you like.
