as the properties related to a 3d environment anyway.
- PS2 - Fixed crash on streams with loop points in VAG format.
- PS2 - Fixed stream priorities being 0 instead of 256 due to a sifcmd optimization
which lead to the undesirable effect of streams being stealable by the

Runs in Windows XP 64 / Windows Server 2003.
+ ALL - FSOUND_Sample_SetDefaultsEx / FSOUND_Sample_GetDefaultsEx added.
Now includes random variation settings for frequency, volume and pan!
+ ALL - FSOUND_3D_SetMinMaxDistance / FSOUND_3D_GetMinMaxDistance added for per channel
min/max distance control.
+ ALL - 'fsb' example added. Shows loading of an FSB file as a non blocking sample bank,
then plays back the contents using the new random variation
+ WIN32 - Faster DirectSound support, due to many driver calls eliminated. This was
probably the cause of worse performance in FSOUND_HW3D mode than using the
FMOD software mixer. The software mixing mode probably still wins, but it
is better than it used to be.
+ WIN32 - WMA, ASF and WMV now run through FMOD DSP engine / streamer! You can now load
WMA files as samples, do DSP effects and spectrum analysis on these files.
+ WIN32 - ASIO output channels made enumerable and selectable through FSOUND_SetDriver.

to make FMOD cooperate with their own EE<->IOP sif command handlers.
+ PS2 - Stream2 example now shows VAG/ADPCM Hardware playback as well as PCM playback
and has an improved interface.
+ PS2 - 'streamwithdata' example added. This shows using FSOUND_SetDiskBusy, and also
loads game data at the same time without affecting the framerate.
+ PS2 - ShellMpeg example added! This example makes the Sony Shell mpeg movie player
example use FMOD via PCM or ADPCM using a custom FMOD stream.
+ PS2 - Added FMUSIC_SetRowCallback, FMUSIC_SetOrderCallback, FMUSIC_SetZxxCallback and
FMUSIC_SetInstCallback support.

+ XBOX - FSOUND_Output_XBox_GetEffectImageDesc added in fmodxbox.h
+ CE - FSOUND_File_HasFatalErrorOccurred and FSOUND_HasPowerOnOccurred added in fmodce.h.
+ FSBANK - Now available as a programmers library! Make your own FSB files without
fsbank.exe! See fsbank.lib, fsbank.h and fsbank.chm.
+ FSBANK - FSBank now allows list files to specify sample defaults and randomization parameters per sound.
- ALL - FSOUND_Sample_SetMaxPlaybacks fixed when using hardware samples.
- ALL - Voice stealing fix with FSOUND_FREE.
- ALL - FSOUND_IsPlaying / endcallbacks on streams not reacting in time when
FSOUND_INIT_STREAM_FROM_MAIN_THREAD bugfix.
- ALL - mod/s3m/xm fix with pattern loop.
- ALL - mod/s3m/xm/it. Non looping songs now play the very last row instead of cutting it off.

- ALL - FMUSIC_SetOrder now cleans up/resets old channels so skipping to a new part of the song
doesn't cause weird playback issues.
- ALL - FMUSIC_GetRealChannel fix for non playing music channels.
- ALL - Loop points on natively compressed sounds (xadpcm,gcadpcm,vag) working again.
- ALL - ADPCM compressed FSB support fixed.
- WIN32 - Analogue and Digital CDROM support fixes.
- WIN32 - FSOUND_HW3D support now drops back to directsound software buffers instead of fmod
software mixed buffers to remove the issue of latency and possible skipping on
some soundcards due to bad drivers. It avoids the need to have to play with the
mixer buffersize (FSOUND_SetBufferSize). 32 'hardware' voices are now reported
if the card actually has no voices.
- GC - Bugfixes. Stereo sound fixes, crash fixes, pause/unpause fixes and more.
- PS2 - IRX files symbol stripped, now around 130k smaller for each file.
- PS2 - FSOUND_GetPaused fixed with streams that are started paused.
- PS2 - FSOUND_SetDiskBusy now does not block other FMOD commands if executed from another
thread asynchronously. (ie if the game has a threaded filesystem).
- PS2 - Memory saving. 200k on the EE.
- LINUX - Ensoniq 1371 latency fix.
- LINUX - FSOUND_Init stalls/timeouts removed from various dodgy soundcards.

14/11/03 3.71
-------------
+ WIN32 - CDDA support. Now you can perform cd ripping, spectrum analysis or DSP effects
on CD audio. See FSOUND_Stream_Open and FSOUND_Stream_SetSubStream.
+ PS2 - New FSOUND_SPEAKERMODE_PROLOGIC2_INTERIOR speakermode added as an alternative
to FSOUND_SPEAKERMODE_PROLOGIC2. This method cuts number of sound playbacks to
24 at once instead of 48, but supports interior panning. Probably not needed in
most games.
- ALL - FSOUND_Close and stream thread safety fixes for extra stability especially when
using end callbacks.
- ALL - Buffered file system fix to avoid strangely playing streams.

a stream tried to restart after buffer underrun.
- PS2 - Prologic 2 support fixes in the original PL2 mode.
- CE - Small glitch noise removed when stopping and starting an mp3 stream.
- MAC - linker issues resolved with mach-o build on certain versions of OSX.
- MAC/GC - endian issue fixed with noisy samples in .IT files.
* ALL - specifying FSOUND_8BITS in loading a sample will now force the sample depth
down to 8bits to save memory. OXM files now also downgrade decoded oggs back
to 8bit when loading if the original XM had them stored as 8bit.
4/9/03 3.70
-------------
+ ALL - Shoutcast / Icecast / HTTP streaming support added! (mp3/ogg vorbis only).
+ ALL - Tag support, I3DV1, I3DV2, Ogg Tags, ASF/WMA tags now readable through api.

stored as a pointer instead of an index, and the 256 limit is removed.
+ WINCE - FSOUND_DSP_GetSpectrum now works! Integer FFT implemented for non FPU devices.
- ALL - WAV/AIFF only. If a file had loop points embedded, then the mode (ie FSOUND_2D)
was being ignored, fixed.
- ALL - Memory leak fixed if any FSOUND_Stream_*Sync* functions were called with
FSOUND_NONBLOCKING and the stream wasnt ready yet. They now fail if not ready.
- WIN32 - WMA and FSOUND_NONBLOCKING now works.
- XBOX - 360kb or so of memory saved! Also DSSTDFX.BIN is no longer needed.
- PS2 - Ejected or corrupted CDs now recover smoothly on stream playback without making a noise.
- PS2 - FSOUND_Reverb_SetChannelProperties fix which was causing sound to dissapear.
- PS2 - Return values for most channel commands fixed, they were returning the wrong value.
- PS2 - Streams being truncated wth different stream length/buffersize combinations fixed.
- PS2 - FSOUND_GetPaused fixed.
- PS2 - Many other bugfixes.
- MAC - Recording bugfix dependent on OSX version.
- WINCE - fixed mp3 loading as sample bug, for files with corruption in them.
* ALL - FMUSIC_LoadSongEx now takes an offset parameter for pak/wad/data file loading.
* ALL - FSOUND_Stream_OpenFile is now called FSOUND_Stream_Open and also takes an
offset parameter for pak/wad/data file loading.
9/6/03 3.63
-------------
+ ALL - FSBank updated. Now all platforms support compressed FSB formats.
Command line supported added. Source files can now be specified via a text
file, allowing ordering of sounds within fsb files.
+ ALL - FSB format now supports sample banks to hold any sound format that fmod can
load with FSOUND_Sample_Load, so for example you could have 1 fsb with
multiple mp3, ogg and wav files stored within it.
+ ALL - FSOUND_Stream_OpenFile with FSOUND_MPEGACCURATE is now 25% faster!
+ ALL - FSOUND_Stream_SetLoopCount added.
+ ALL - FSOUND_NONBLOCKING support added to FMUSIC_LoadSongEx! Now sample banks can
be loaded in the background. Use new FMUSIC_GetOpenState to poll status.
+ PS2 - Dolby Prologic 2 support added! Use FSOUND_SetSpeakerMode and
FSOUND_SPEAKERMODE_PROLOGIC2. Note that this mode uses 2 hardware voices
for every fmod channel, so the number of channels is effectively halved
from 48 to 24 when using this speaker mode.
+ PS2 - FSOUND_Update now 30-40% faster!
+ PS2 - File routines now split into fmodfile.irx so users can quickly compile or
hook into their own IOP file routines.
+ ALL - FSOUND_INIT_STREAM_FROM_MAIN_THREAD added. This causes FSOUND_Update to
drive the streamer thread. This is mainly because OS8/Macintosh doesnt
like streaming inside an MPTask, which is being worked on. This will work
around it.
- WIN32 - DirectX 8/9 bug fixed which could cause a crash with FX or recording.
- ALL - FSOUND_Stream_SetTime is now sample accurate with mp3. (it previously
seeked and rounded the position to the nearest mpeg block).
- ALL - MP3 'chirp' noises when seeking (using FSOUND_Stream_SetTime or
FSOUND_Stream_SetPosition) reduced or removed completely.
- PS2 - FSOUND_IsPlaying bug fixes, Prologic 2 support! Hardware click removal!
- PS2 - Greater volume accuracy which removes 'wobbly' sound when using small
mindistances in 3D sound.
- MAC - conflict with cocoa libraries and the symbol _realloc removed.
- ALL - Strange doppler effect when sounds went outside maxdistance fixed.
- ALL - FSOUND_Stream_SynchPoint fixes.
- PS2 - FSB 16byte memleak fixed.
- ALL - AIFF loop point support fixed.
- WINCE - Loading MP3 as sample crash fix.
- WINCE - FSOUND_GetLengthMs fixed with MP3 files.
- FSBANK - Mixing 8 & 16bit sounds dissalowed. A stream is created in a particular
format (based on the first sample in an FSB), and if the first sound was
8 bit but the rest were 16bit, the result would be noisy 16bit sounds.
* ALL - win32/mac mainly. FSOUND_Update now yields, causes operating task switch
for smoother multitasking. You should call this function once a frame.
* MAC - fmod_cfm.shlb now only exports the relevant fmod symbols and not the MSL stuff.
28/02/03 3.62
-------------
+ GC - GameCube support added!

+ ALL - FSOUND_Stream_SetMode and FSOUND_Stream_GetMode added to allow control
during playback, such as looping.
+ ALL - FSOUND_Stream_SetSubStreamSentence added! This allows for seamless
stitching/sentencing of streams. VERY useful for things like commentary
where you want parametized audio. FSB format only.
+ ALL - FSOUND_CD_SetTrackTime added.
+ PS2 - Now TRC compliant for sony submissions.
+ PS2 - Added multi-channel interleaved stream support! (FSB format only). If
stereo is 2 interleave channels (L/R), this format allows up to 16
interleaved channels at once that play simultaneously. This eliminates
seeking and improves CD bandwidth, and also allows interactive music with
tracks that stay in perfect sync.
+ PS2 - FSOUND_Reverb_SetChannelAttributes supported, using Room parameter to make
channel wet/dry.
+ PS2 - Stereo and even 'multichannel' (see above) sample support in hardware.
(FSB format only).

sounds out of 2 soundcards at the same time!
+ WINCE - New complete set of examples! 3d, simple, simplest etc are all included.
+ LINUX - Better compatibility for old cards. ALSA mode now allows device
enumeration. Electic Fence tested.
+ WIN32 - 24 and 32 bit PCM wav files supported!
- ALL - FSOUND_SetSubStream fixed when in FSOUND_NONBLOCKING mode and mulitiple
calls are issued at once.
- ALL - FSOUND_Stream_SetEndCallback more accurate.
- PS2 - 'Corrupted' stream fix when usage of hardware channels were maxed out.
- PS2 - FSOUND_Stream_PlayEx was accidently blocking, fixed.
- PS2 - Multiple Listeners fix.
- PS2 - FSOUND_SetSFXMasterVolume fix for FSB banks.
- ALL - Stream timing, mod timing, and stream endcallbacks are now more accurate.
- MAC - OS8/9 support working again.
* ALL - .FSB support is now cross platform. PS2, GameCube and XBox allow compressed
FSB data.
* WIN32 - Made fmod.h and examples more cygwin friendly.
* ALL - FMUSIC_LoadSongMemory is now changed to FMUSIC_LoadSongEx. This function
handles loading from memory and more.
* ALL - Frequency/Volume/Pan/3d position cached to reduce WIN32 driver call overhead?
* LINUX - fmoddyn.h updated and useable for linux.
18/12/02 3.61
-------------
+ ALL - Added FMUSIC_SetUserData and FMUSIC_GetUserData
+ ALL - Added FSOUND_3D_Listener_SetCurrent for multiple listener support!
+ ALL - Optimized Ogg Vorbis. Ogg decoding is now 2x faster!
Decoding is nearly 2x quicker than mp3!
+ WIN32 - A3D support re-added as an output mode only, for compatibility.
+ PS2 - Added FSOUND_Stream_SetSubStream/FSOUND_Stream_GetNumSubStreams, for FMOD
.FSB bank files are supported on PS2 Only. Cross platform support is coming.

+ ALL - Added support for Neil Graham's .XM to .OXM converter. This tool converts
XM samples into ogg files, making them dramatically smaller.
+ WIN32 - Added dynamic loading header fmoddyn.h. This allows you to create multiple
instances of fmod = multiple soundcard output.
+ ALL - Added FSOUND_Stream_SetLoopPoints.
+ ALL - Added FSOUND_Stream_GetOpenState for determining the state of a non blocking stream open.
+ ALL - Added FSOUND_Stream_AddSynchPoint, FSOUND_Stream_DeleteSynchPoint,
FSOUND_Stream_GetNumSynchPoints for sync point manipulation.
Previously they were only available in .WAV or .AIFF files.
+ ALL - Added FSOUND_OUTPUT_NOSOUND_NONREALTIME. Calling FSOUND_Update drives the
software engine as fast as you like.

+ FSOUND_Stream_SetBufferSize added. Useful for streaming from CD when the default size isnt
big enough, and causes audio skips because the cd is being held up.
+ FSOUND_SetFrequency supports negative frequencies. Play sounds backwards!
+ FMOD media player allows seeking in mods and streams by clicking on progress bar
+ Linux version brought up to date. Thanks to SUSE distro guys for helping out.
+ FSOUND_GetCurrentVU latency adjusted (via FSOUND_Init flag), and now emulates a software
mixer giving perfect VU feedback.
- Sound skips with streams removed by bigger default stream buffersize. (also on CE)
- Divide by 0 in linux version removed.
- Bug fixed where an item appeared on the windows taskbar for FMOD's cdrom handling code.
- Time accuracy bug fixed which affected gettime functions and sync callbacks.
- Fixed distortion on mp3 playback under FMOD CE.
- FSOUND_SetMute using FSOUND_ALL bugfix.
- DirectShow assert removed when an error occured loading wma.
- EAX1 support removed (superceeded by EAX2/EAX3).
* FSOUND_FX api now allows multiple instances of the same effect per channel.
* Ability to 3d position stereo soures removed in software mode. Streams and samples now default
to FSOUND_STEREOPAN so they are louder. Use FSOUND_FORCEMONO on streams/samples to make them
3d.
* Intel performance primitives for ARM were tested but removed due to insignificant speed increase.
13/09/01 3.4
------------
+ DX8 fx support
+ Windows CE / PocketPC support added for handhelds! (such as compaq ipaq/casio/jornada etc).

analysis of FMOD's mixer output in realtime. Great for graphics, beat detection and note detection.
+ FSOUND_PlaySoundEx added. Has 'paused' flag that allows the user to optinally start the sound
paused, set any attribute, and then unpause it later to start it playing. Also can takes
a DSP unit handle, which means channels can now attached or grouped to specific DSP units.

but choosing one will autodetect a quality mixer instead.
- Small bugfix in FPU quality mixer to do with volume ramping.
* Licensees now get an extensive compile time configuration header to include or exclude as many
fmod features as they like! a stripped FMOD.DLL can be as small as 20k now.
27/03/01 3.32
-------------
+ FSOUND_SetVolume, FSOUND_SetPan & FSOUND_IsPlaying support for WMA/ASF/Internet
streams/etc added. Multiple wma's open at once bug fixed.

18/02/01 3.31
-------------
+ WAV Loop point support added! FMOD will now interpret loop points set in soundforge etc.
+ OGG VORBIS - Beta 4 used with FMOD. Fixes problems and has speed benefits.
+ FMUSIC_SetInstCallback added. Get callbacks on mod type instrument numbers.
+ FSOUND_Stream_SetSynchCallback added. Visually drop markers in your wav editing package and
FMOD will callback in time to the points as the sound plays! Great for lipsynching/gfx
demos etc. WAV/RIFF mp3 only.
+ DX8 support added.
+ NT detection added. This will mean WINMM is automatically enabled if FSOUND_Output isnt
called for better performance. All other WIN32 OS'es will use DSOUND.

- LINUX - Oss now opens the socket in nonblocking mode. That should take care of the
lockups some ppl got when another app was using the sound.
- LINUX - Esd now checks (via a select()) if it can send data, blocks if it can't. The
newest Elightment Sound Daemon choked on that one, and it's the Right Thing(tm) to do.
* A bug has been found in the win2k sblive drivers to do with volume levels on 3d sounds..
We suggest you get the newest version.
17/12/00 3.3

* _cdecl calling convention specified for callbacks in case default calling convention is changed (thanks Aristarkh Zagorodnikov)
* changed LCC-WIN32 compiler definition in fmod.h to __LCC__ (not LCCWIN32) so it works better now :)
05/11/00 3.21
-------------
* Intermediate update before FMOD 3.3 is released.
+ New, easier to navigate documentation layout. Recording interface added to documentation :)
- End of non looping MP3 on rare combination of filelength crash fixed.

04/05/00 3.2 DX3 Patch
-----------------------
+ Improved playback stability with harddisk interruptions occuring in the background.
- DirectX versions *less than* DX7 compatibility problem fixed (most noticable under NT). This was thanks to bug in dsound API (thanks microsoft!)
01/05/00 3.2
------------
* FSOUND_NORMAL re-defined to (FSOUND_LOOP_OFF | FSOUND_8BITS | FSOUND_MONO), as in some
cases it was being mistaken for a bitfield and or'ed in with other flags when it infact wasnt. (it was 0!)
* FSOUND_EAX interface renamed to FSOUND_Reverb interface. (to fit a3d reverb, software reverb etc not just EAX)
+ DX7 support added. This adds more hardware voices than previously possible before.
+ EAX 2.0 support added. This means advanced reverb functionality and manual occlusion control.
+ A3D 3.0 support added (FMOD comes with a3dapi.dll now). This adds A3D reverb and advanced reverb support.
+ RECORDING support added. See FSOUND_Record_StartSample, FSOUND_Record_StartWAV etc.
+ FSOUND_MIXER_QUALITY_FPU_VOLUMERAMP mixer added. This removes clicks on sudden volume changes for added quality.
+ MMX quality mixer speed increased AGAIN to crazy speeds! Check out the new comparison charts.
+ 'userdata' parameter added to FSOUND_Stream_Create.
+ FMOD Standalone player/example (fmod.exe). Added 48khz support, MP3,WAV & A3D 3 support!
Reverb added (NR button removed) and lowpass filter declicked. See FMOD.C for the code for all this!
+ New music callbacks! FMUSIC_SetRowCallback, FMUSIC_SetOrderCallback. LATENCY ADJUSTED, so when it calls back on a particular row, it is the row you HEAR.
+ FSOUND_Stream_GetTime smoother and LATENCY ADJUSTED, so when the time displays a value, that is the time into the stream that you HEAR.
+ FMUSIC_GetPatternLength added. (for time calculation purposes)
+ FSOUND_SetMinHardwareChannels and FSOUND_SetMaxHardwareChannels added. Great for controlling 3d Hardware resources.
+ FSOUND_REVERB_IGNOREPARAM added, so you can change specific elements of environmental reverb and ignore others.
+ Delphi interface added!
+ Added fmod_errors.h which contains FMOD_ErrorString. Use this in conjunction with FMOD_GetError to get a string description of the error.
- PCM .WAV files accidentally did an ACM codec check even if it was PCM. Some machines didn't
have this PCM ACM codec, and so loadwav or openwav failed - ACM check now skipped for PCM files.
- FSOUND_GetCurrentVU fixed!
- 3D - Software engine bugfixed rolloff and distancefactor to make it sound more like DS3D.
- WAV/MP3 - streamer fixes and improvements.
- XM/IT - portamento with multi sample instruments fixed.
- API - FSOUND_Sample_Get somehow dissapeared from the DLL.. back again.
- API - MU-Law functions removed.
- Many other miscellaneous fixes.
08/01/00 3.11
-------------
+ RIFF based MP3 files and MP3's with ID3 tags at the start now supported.
- LoadSongMemory fixed and works again
- Pentium Pro selecting wrong mixer upon autodetect now fixed.
- XM and IT bugfixes.
24/12/99 3.1
-------------
* FMUSIC_OptimizeChannels put back into fmod.h. Im not sure why it dissapeared in the first place :)
* 'stream.exe sample' changed from WAV to a MP3 command line streamer because more people wanted that.
* LoadMemory functions now take a length (length of the buffer). You may have to change your code
to support this (it is not backward compatible with 3.0. I didnt want to add more functions to the
API for such a minor change.
+ Variable bitrate MP3's now supported!
+ FSOUND_SetHWND added for those who want to specify their own HWND for dsound focus purposes.
+ FSOUND_Stream_GetTime added, for smooth, non lagged, accurate synchronization with stream
playback.
Use this for synchronizing MP3's to your graphics!
+ Added stability to sound output of software engine, for when harddisk accesses occur.
- 8 bit raw wav streaming bug fixed where output was noisy.
- Streamer start/stop logic bug fixed/improved. (it used to hang on exit if you did several start/stops in a row)
- Small XM bugfix on delay note.
- Fixed startup crash bug. This was caused by BAD DRIVERS. Creative ES1370 sound card drivers
have a bug, and they have the cheek to set the certified bit in the caps. It also reports
256 hardware 3d channels which is obviously a lie. Thanks to Marcus Aarts, Anders Nilsson and
Shane Stevens for helping me find this one.
- Documentation fixes.
12/12/99 3.0
-------------
* New timing system, no more update rate, no more mixahead! a lot more stable on shit cards
like awe64, and at the same time, very low latency.
* FSOUND_SetPanSeperation only affects sfx now, not music.
* If mixer is not selected, it defaults to a quality mixer now, not a low quality one like before.
* FSOUND_Geometry_AddPolygon now supplies normal as well AND opening factor. (it takes NULL also)
* FSOUND_3D_Listener_GetAttributes now consistant across all output types. (waveout missed out before)
* FSOUND_SetPaused now works on FSOUND_HW3D buffers.
* FSOUND_SetMute now works on FSOUND_HW3D buffers.
* FSOUND_MixChannel renamed to FSOUND_MixBuffers (it has nothing to do with channels really)
* FSOUND_Listener_SetAttributes does not update 3d info now, FSOUND_3D_Update does.
+ Added FSOUND_File_SetCallbacks. Use this to make FMOD use your own file operations.
+ Compressed WAV support added
+ MP3 Support added
+ EAX Support added
+ A3D Support added (with full geometry and list support)
+ MMX quality mixer sped up 2-3 times on ppro+ machines! (p6/p2/p3)
+ FSOUND_Driver_GetCaps added.. Now query the capabilities of drivers before calling FSOUND_Init.
+ FSOUND_Stream_Create added - an easier way to stream data.
+ FMUSIC_SetPanSeperation added, for per song pan seperation control.
+ FSOUND_3D_Update added. This is now the global 3d update/flush function, NOT FSOUND_Listener_SetAttributes.
+ FSOUND_Geometry_Material functions implemented
+ Documentation added for geometry stuff, also other documentation updated (playsound, 3d stuff)
+ Software 3D Engine updated! Software sounds used to audibly update on
FSOUND_3D_Emitter_SetAttributes only, and not when the listener was updated.
Now they are updated on neither, they are audibly updated now in FSOUND_3D_Update.
This means you can now move the listener without updating the sources and all the sources will
update automatically! This behaves the same as DS3D now.
+ FSOUND_GEOMETRY_OPENING & FSOUND_GEOMETRY_OPENING_REFERENCE implemented! create doorways.
+ Geometry list functions added. A faster way of processing geometry.
FSOUND_Geometry_AddList(FSOUND_GEOMLIST *geomlist);
FSOUND_Geometry_List_Create(signed char boundingvolume);
FSOUND_Geometry_List_Free(FSOUND_GEOMLIST *geomlist);
FSOUND_Geometry_List_Begin(FSOUND_GEOMLIST *geomlist);
FSOUND_Geometry_List_End(FSOUND_GEOMLIST *geomlist);
FSOUND_Geometry_List_Add(FSOUND_GEOMLIST *geomlist);
+ Added FSOUND_SetBufferSize
+ Added FSOUND_DSP_GetBufferLength
- FSOUND_Sample_Lock / FSOUND_Sample_Unlock documented properly (oops! :)
- Soak test bug caused wave out to crash after 3 hours of operation.. fixed.
- Fixed bug in FSOUND_Sample_Create
- Some module playback improvements from fmod 2.25.
- IT mod format bug fix. (NNA caused sample vibrato to lose integrity)
- Error code is now set to FMOD_ERR_NONE on all function calls, so you dont parse an error
that was set 10 function calls ago for example.
- NoSound output mode improved.
- Removed FSOUND_SetMixAhead
- Removed FSOUND_SetUpdateRate
18/10/99 2.25
-------------
* Version number now included in DLL. (right click on DLL for info)
+ IT - mods composed with IT versions older than 2.0 reenabled. I dont have many
of these songs and it seemed to work straight away and the songs i did have.
They sounded ok, but if there are any problems with old IT mods then mention
them to me and I might try to fix them. (theyre not high on my priority list)
- FMUSIC_SetZxxCallback did not have the correct documentation and just took a
void * as the callback. The actual format of the callback is
callback(FMUSIC_MODULE *mod, unsigned char param). FMUSIC_SetZxxCallback now
forces this.
- IT - Impulse tracker 2.15 compressed samples reenabled :)
- IT - FMOD was interpreting IT's stereo flag for samples, which was erroneously
set by older versions of IT, causing some samples to play twice as fast as they
should. Stereo check removed (IT never supported stereo samples)
- MOD S3M XM IT - Sample offset bug fixed.
- XM IT - minor bugs fixed.
- Closedown stability increased.
31/08/99 2.24
-------------
* This is the last FMOD 2.* update unless there are some small niggling bugs. I
need to finish 3.0.
* NOSOUND - FSOUND_OUTPUT_NULL now behaves as if everything is active, therefore
you will get all music callbacks and timers, vu meters, dsp functions and everything
else working correctly etc as if it was playing, but you dont hear anything.
* FMOD ported to N64.
* API - this version is now declared stable. It has been run over with memory leak
tools and numerous memory problems have been found and fixed.
* DSP - Note that the 'length' part of the callback now fluctuates more to increase
output stability, and its maximum size can equal up to the updaterate + mixahead
in milliseconds.
* TOOLS - convert.exe removed. use soundforge or some such program if you want to
convert a wav to a a raw signed datastream.
+ API - New reference count channel index! The index PlaySound returns now has a
reference count in the top 16bits. This so you can call playsound, store the
return value, then if that channel gets stolen by the priority system, and you
blindy try and keep updating it as if it was from your original playsound, the
new sound wont be affected!!
+ API - FSOUND_Stream_OpenWav added. Now you can stream wav files with ease. This
version still only supports PCM wav, but FMOD 3.0 should change this situation.
+ API - FSOUND_SetSFXMasterVolume & FSOUND_GetSFXMasterVolume added.
+ API - FSOUND_SetVolumeAbsolute added. This volume overrides master volume. Great
if you need to lower the volume of your game effects and make one stand out.
+ MUSIC - FMUSIC_OptimizeChannels added! This function kicks arse if you are trying
to lower channel usage. You give it a 'channels mixed' value, and a 'mod volume'
value, and it wont play sounds in a song that have a lower volume than 'mod volume',
if 'channels mixed' is being exceeded as stated in FSOUND_GetChannelsPlaying.
One example is a game that reduced its maxchannels from 24 to 16 because of this
with no audible difference. (the song had a lot of 'echos' that didnt need to be
audible when things got noisy, so FMOD threw them away.)
+ MUSIC - FMUSIC_GetSample and FMUSIC_SetSample added! This allows you to get control
of samples within a mod! Great if you need to compress samples yourself and then
decompress them back into the mod during your game. This was in 2.23 but i forgot
to mention it here :)
+ STREAM - file streaming example added to the sample directory. Command line driven
and takes a .wav file.
- 3D - Software doppler effect rewritten, now physically accurate :)..
FSOUND_3D_Listener_SetDopplerFactor() now means something different to the previous
versions. Check the documentation for more on this.
- DRIVER - fixed problem with some peoples machines that have more than 16
'soundcards' that i thought would be the maximum. (It is actually just a
hardware card enumerating a whole waveout device for each hardware channel.)
- INTERFACE - command line parameters fixed, and some people not seeing the interface
appear should now be happy.
- IT - channel allocation bug fixed.
17/08/99 2.23
--------------
+ API - FSOUND_UNMANAGED flag added for sample loading/management
+ API - Added FSOUND_DSP_ClearMixBuffer. Use this before doing a biiiiiig harddisk access so you
dont get looping noise/stuttering, (because the harddisk/windows basically bus masters and shuts
down all threads, causing the mixer to stop as well, but the soundcard keeps playing the buffer).
- API - FSOUND_Sample_LoadWav & FSOUND_Sample_LoadWavMemory now return proper error code.
- MIXER - clicks removed from bidi looping sample in quality mixer.
- IT - fixed 2.15 compressed samples now work (oops forgot to call the right decompressor)
- IT - Memory footprint drastically reduced for pattern data (now leaves pattern data compressed and
unpacks on the fly)
- XM - Digitracker saved XM's now work correctly (dont crash, and illegal stuff filtered out)
- XM - envelope bug fixed.
- 3D - divide by 0 bug fixed (when listener and emitter are at the same location)
* API - Sample based functions like FSOUND_Sample_LoadWav etc take an index now, so you can specify
an absolute sample manager index, FSOUND_FREE or FSOUND_UNMANAGED
18/06/99 2.22 rev 1
------------------
- IT - really obscure crash bug fixed.
18/06/99 2.22
------------------
- MOD - accidently broke mod support, fixed
- S3M - fixed bug with bpm's smaller than 20h
- Idle optimization back in
14/06/99 2.21
------------------
* Fix included from 2.2rev1 (registry bug in fmod standalone player)
* VC5 compatible import library included. vc6 only slipped into the last release.
+ IT 'envelope carry' support added.
+ MIXER - big increase in sound stability when harddisk is being accessed!!
+ LCC-WIN32 import library added.
- IT - crash bugfix. (envelopes with loop end before loop start)
- IT - volume bug (not hearing some samples at all) fixed in IT 'sample' mode.
- MOD S3M XM IT - fixed pattern delay bug
- DLL - size of DLL reduced by 12k!
08/05/99 2.2 rev 1
------------------
- INTERFACE - fixed stupid registry bug which cause bad drivers to be initialized
at start up. It caused possible crashing, 000 channels mixed to be displayed
and no sound.
16/05/99 2.2
------------
* FMOD is now a non beta release!
* MIXER - Changing driver on the fly with FSOUND_Driver_Close and
FSOUND_Driver_Init does not stop music playback any more. Everything
continues playing as it had been.
* API - Please read the new documentation on FSOUND_SetUpdateRate and
FSOUND_SetMixAhead!!!! This should remove confusion about what they do
and the issues of cpu usage, response time/latency and sound stability!
+ MIXER - FPU 32bit interpolating high quality mixer added!
+ API - FSOUND_Sample_SetLoopMode added
+ MOD - M!K! mod format supported.
+ INTERFACE - FMOD now saves sound settings in registry.
- API - Safety checking put into FSOUND_SetOutput, FSOUND_SetDriver,
FSOUND_SetMixer, FSOUND_SetUpdateRate and FSOUND_SetMixAhead. These
functions will fail and return an error code if FMOD is active and playing
sounds. You need to close FMOD down to call these functions, then
reinitialize it. FSOUND_Driver_Close and FSOUND_Driver_Init will fail also
if FSOUND has not been initialized with FSOUND_Init.
- MIXER - Fixed rare crash bug when background disk access caused timer
fluctuations.
- MIXER - Fixed rare sound output instability caused by closing and opening
fsound's driver code very quickly in succession.
- MIXER - Fixed crash bug on bidi samples playing backwards, at volume 0,
on the standard blendmode mixer only. (FPU Mixer also)
- MIXER - Fixed horrible fuzzy quality bug with MU-Law compressed samples!
- MIXER - Fixed standard blend mode mixer, which wasnt doing vol0 optimization
on -muted- channels.
- IT - fixed crash bug with mod that reference IT instruments beyond the
number of instruments.
- API - All 'interpolation functions' removed, if you want interpolation select
the FPU interpolating mixer and every sound played will use full 32bit
interpolation. (choosing which channels you want interpolated would end
up being a pain. Most people just want everything interpolated or not)
- CD - various CD player bugs fixed (random play, pause logic etc)
- API - FSOUND_GetCurrentVU now reports correct values for MuLaw compressed
samples.
09/05/99 2.19b
--------------
* API release, this includes changes/fixes from 2.18 Update 1 (cdrom fixes)
* Documentation updated
* FMOD is now approaching a non beta state! (no bug reports are coming in)
Beta status will most likely be removed in a few weeks (maybe version 2.20)
* API - FSOUND_SetLatency has been renamed to FSOUND_SetUpdateRate, sorry for
the name change but it is really the incorrect name for what this function does.
+ INTERFACE - Settings now saved in registry. New minimal CD Player panel!
+ CPU usage reduced during idle time. FMOD shuts itself down when nothing is happening.
+ API - FSOUND_Sample_Alloc now allows specification of default priority as well.
+ API - FSOUND_Sample_SetDefaults lets you set a sample's default freq,vol,pan & priority.
+ API - FSOUND_GetCurrentVU added, by request. (useful for vu bars/beat detection?)
+ API - FMUSIC_GetTime added, by request. Useful for exact music synchronization EVERY time.
+ API - FSOUND_GetCurrentSample added, allows you to get the currently playing sample for
a particular channel, useful for comparisons.. ie to see if a particular sample is still
playing on a particular channel.
- API - FSOUND_SetAttributes removed. It was added before due to a request but I
feel it is just API bloat and can be achieved through a macro.
28/04/99 2.18b Update 1 (player only)
------------------------------------
* FMOD - player only being updated here, not the API. API releases usually
come on the weekend. (they take more time to prepare)
+ CD - Added continuous, looped and random buttons for playback method.
- CD - All bugs fixed in CD player, all created by BUGS in WIN32 API
functions. (mmsystem & mci commands- some work ok on NT, fail on 95).
- Removed startup dialog box. Defaults to primary device and dsound. Hit config
to change. (maybe use registry later)
25/04/99 2.18b
--------------
* API - FSOUND_GetNumChannels renamed to FSOUND_GetMaxChannels
+ CD - New CD commands and support. FSOUND's CD system is a NON POLLING non
intrusive system (unlike windows cd player), for smooth background performance.
Tracks can now be looped, stopped and continued.
+ INTERFACE - new filters! Preverb filter(!) and Noise reduction.
+ INTERFACE - CD Player added.
17/04/99 2.17b
--------------
* API - FSOUNDVC.LIB now VC5.0 compatible.
- XM - Fixed crash on sample offset.
- API - FMUSIC_SetPaused fixed.
- MIXER - Fixed MULAW mixer. Remember MULAW only works when a song has 16bit
samples (it converts them to mulaw), otherwise it isn't any different. It
only works for the blend mode mixer as well. The MMX mixers are fast enough
not to need mulaw.
11/04/99 2.16b
--------------
+ API - DSP Engine implemented and added! New functions:
FSOUND_DSP_Create,FSOUND_DSP_Free,FSOUND_DSP_SetPriority,
FSOUND_DSP_GetPriority,FSOUND_DSP_SetActive,
FSOUND_DSP_GetActive,FSOUND_DSP_GetClearUnit,
FSOUND_DSP_GetSFXUnit,FSOUND_DSP_GetMusicUnit
FSOUND_DSP_GetClipAndCopyUnit.
See FSOUND_DSP_Create for documentation on this new feature.
+ API - Added FSOUND_MixChannel - now you have direct access to
FSOUND's optimized mixers!
- MOD, S3M, XM, IT - Fixed loader bug introduced in 2.15! (to do
with load from memory system.)
- XM - Found and fixed a sample offset bug introduced a few
versions ago, with 16bit samples.
- API - Echo engine and functions removed - DSP engine is now to
be used.
- API - Fixed bug in FMUSIC_SetOrder.
- API - Fixed bug in FSOUND_GetMixer, it was returning
FSOUND_MIXER_AUTODETECT if that was used in FSOUND_SetMixer,
instead of the actual mixer it was using.
- INTERFACE - loader bug fixed.
28/03/99 2.15b
--------------
+ API - Watcom now supported. Watcom users link in the
FSOUNDW.LIB import library.
+ API - Added FMUSIC_LoadSongMemory, now load mod/s3m/xm/it
files from memory handles / resources.
+ API - Added FSOUND_LoadWavMemory, now load wav files from
memory handles / resources.
- API - Fixed bug in FSOUND_Sample_Alloc which allocated samples
with length = 0, and hence no sound came out when played.
- SAMPLE - fixed bugs in fmod sample code.
21/03/99 2.14b
--------------
* FSOUND / FMUSIC is now a DLL. The reason is to use a dll is
to make it easier to link on different compilers, and it really
is for aesthetic reasons only to have it as a .lib. (ie 1 exe
releases) and im not interested.
* Examples cleaned up, they dont specify unused .libs any more.
- WAVEOUT - bugfixed, works on NT now, and now actually uses
setmixahead settings. You will have to use large mixaheads
(80-100 and higher on my tests) for WaveOut, or the sound will
break up. There is nothing you can do about this.
- DSOUND - works on NT now (DX3). This is the same as waveout
(dsound3 for nt is a waveout wrapper). You will have to use
large mixahead values (80-100ms and higher on my tests), or it
may break up.
+ API - FSOUND_SetAttributes added
+ API - FSOUND_PlaySoundAttrib added
14/03/99 2.13b
--------------
* Programmers API finally released! see
http://www.zip.com.au/~fl for more details!
+ MIXER Stereo sample mixers added. Old way of spawning 2 new
channels is gone.. Under MMX a stereo channel is actually
faster than mono!
+ S3M, XM, IT - Zxx callback now supported. Programmers can set
a callback function for whenever the Z effect is issued from a
song, for synchronizing effects etc. .MOD is not supported.
+ STREAMERS - Streamer API Added for playing very large files.
Currently only supports raw, but mulaw, adpcm and mp3 streamers
are coming.
+ MOD, S3M, XM, IT - Master volume added to API.
This is a true scalar instead of just modifying the song's
global volume like before (ie the song might have adjusted the
global volume after you set it)
+ INTERFACE - Master volume slider added.
- MIXER - Fixed extremely rare crash bug.
- MIXER - volumes were ever so slightly out, ie a channel
panned full right still had about 0.4% (not much) of the sound
playing in the left channel instead of 0% as it should have.
- MISC - many small fixes.
04/02/99 2.12b
--------------
- Fixed linear freq problem introduced due to linear freq
optimization, I just removed it now for accuracy sake.
* a little bit more stable?
02/02/99 2.11b
--------------
- Fixed BPM problem on all formats. Now loop songs should play ok.
- Fixed sample offset on all formats (oops sorry sample offset was
disabled on mod/s3m/xm since 2.06 accidentaly! noone seemed to
notice hahaha)
31/01/99 2.10b
--------------
- Minor Direct Sound bugs fixed.
30/01/99 2.09b
--------------
- IT bug fixed with instrument numbers and no note. (most
formats dont retrigger the note in this case, but IT does if
the sample has finished playing, and not before.)
- S3M Bug found in loader. (popped up only due to impulse
tracker saved s3ms).
- IT fixed porta wihout any previous note.. porta on on a
channel that has no channel playing will trigger a new note.
- DRIVER direct sound should work more reliably on NT using
directX.
- INTERFACE fixed song list box bug. Delete happily now without
problems.
- INTERFACE config box now remembers what you last set when you
hit config, and wont change any settings if you hit 'cancel'
(it used to select nosound before)
- DRIVER code now detects incompatible cpu's and exits with an
error instead of crashing?
- XM/IT replay sped up. Linear frequencies processed a lot
faster now.
26/01/99 2.08b
--------------
+ DRIVERS added capability to switch drivers on the fly. Use
the 'Config' Button on the interface to change output
devices, soundcards, mixing rates or mixing routines.
+ MIXER added Mu-Law support! This is only for NON-MMX mixing,
and improves the speed of 16bit sample mixing dramatically, with
only a small loss in sample quality. (simulates 12bit accuracy)
- MIXER fixed ugly bug (crashes/noise) with 8bit BIDI looping
samples on standard blend mode mixer.
24/01/99 2.07b
--------------
+ IT added volume byte portamentos
+ IT added S6x - Pattern delay by ticks
+ IT added volume byte vibrato
+ IT added sample vibrato
- IT fixed effect S73, S74, S75, S76, S77, S78. These commands
are meant to alter the behaviour of an instrument, except i was
permanently modifying the instrument instead of just altering it
for the note currently being played!! oops..
- IT / XM - turn off envelopes that have less than 2 points.
(apparently sometimes files can have this)
- IT fixed Hxy Kxy Uxy (vibrato/finevibrato).. if Hxy is followed
by U00 then it continues to be a normal vibrato, even if it says
fine vibrato.. same for Uxy followed by H00.. it continues with
a fine vibrato even if it says normal vibrato.. The y part of
the command needs to have something in it to change vibrato
types. (dumb impulse tracker bug)
- IT fixed volume slide bug in Kxy Lxy
- IT foreground / background channel logic is more accuate now with
NNA's and effect commands.
- MOD, S3M, XM, IT - now checks internal signatures for file verification
as some people were trying to load mod's etc that were renamed to s3m!
yeah yeah thanks a lot otto ;)
- IT fixed S00 - any Sxy command gets remembered and replayed if it
is followed with S00.. (crono - not just SDx and SCx like you said)
- DSOUND fixed init/shutdown code to be cleaner.
20/01/99 2.06b
--------------
- XM fixed BPM issue.. seems FT2's timer is a bit faster than it
really should be.. (roughly 2bpm) mega-sample-loop songs sound
ok now.
- IT another pattern loader crash bug fixed (should be the last)
- IT fixed Gxx bug (portamento).. IT forgets it porta target
after it reaches it. (TheHornet again)
- IT fixed Oxy (sample Offset) bug
18/01/99 2.05b
--------------
* MIXER Using large latency again just for fmod.exe with dsound,
to improve stability (im working on it)
- IT Fixed signed/unsigned sample detection in loader
- IT Disabled pitch envelopes for IT's using IIR filters so they
wont sound awful.
- XM Fixed crash bug in loader.
17/01/99 2.04b
--------------
* Mixer buffer management totally rewritten, might be a *tiny*
bit slower (becuase of caching), but it is a lot more flexible
and stable. Built in preparation of the DSP plugin API.
* Halved size of both MMX mixer routines (to do with surround)
* API ready to use. Now at beta test stage
* Thanks to TheHornet for his doc on it 'nuances' that were too
subtle to find through normal testing. (bugs found with (***))
* New more consistant mixer thread management.
+ Volume 0 optimizations! Average mods will now use about 30%
less cpu time (depends on the song)
+ Standard blend mode mixer sped up for 8bit samples
+ Windows Multimedia WaveOut support added. At the moment it
works well but the latency is too long for game sfx. It is
more stable than the direct sound driver (less garbling /
breakups)
+ .WAV sample support added.
+ Stereo sample support added.
+ IT added linear frequencies.
+ IT added panbrello
+ IT added support for 'compatible Gxx' in IT's options
- MIXER Fixed volume 0 optimization hang bug.
- IT fixed effected E/F/G to use the same memory.
- IT fixed SDx delay note bug (SD0 == SD1) (***)
- IT fixed SCx note cut bug (SC0 == SC1) (***)
- IT fixed Qxy retrig (now retrigs across multiple notes like
IT.. other formats ignore retrig if it is higher than the
speed of the song)
- IT fixed Gxx / Lxy (portamento). was 2x too slow.
- IT fixed Vibrato for 'old effects'.. with old effects it is
2x deeper and does not get updated on tick 0.
- MIXER OOPS! i had '#define ROLLED' left uncommented in my P6
MMX mixer since version 2.0 or so!! it wasnt using unrolled
loops. Now it is roughly 1.6 times faster! (from 5% to 3% cpu
usage on a p2-266 for mixing 32channels at once)
14/11/98 2.03b
--------------
+ Added stability to mixer, removed 150ms crap from 2.02
07/11/98 2.02b
--------------
* ALL players use a new dynamic channel allocation system
- consider MOD, S3M & XM under beta again. (MAY have
broken something!)
* MIXER in an attempt for added stability, for this standalone
player, a different approach is used.. it has a huge
latency (150ms) and takes a bit more cpu time, but shouldnt
break up as much .. for the game library the old method
still stands. (150ms is way too long to wait for a sound
effect to trigger.. so fmod uses 50ms latency for games etc)
+ IT Added NNA's
+ IT Added DCT/DCA's.
+ MIXER Added echo post effect.. hardcoded 50ms echo for now.
+ IT Added Pan Envelope
+ IT Added all volume column effects except for porta commands &
vibrato
+ INTERFACE Added drag and drop. Drag tunes from explorer into
the player to load
+ INTERFACE also command line fileloading (ie associate the exe
in explorer with mod,s3m,xm,it then just doubleclick files
to load them)
+ IT Added most other effects
- ALL Fixed some crashing for songs that specify sample id's that
dont exist.
- XM & IT Fixed Envelope bug - loops were playing 1 tick too long :)
- S3M fixed arpeggio bug causing 0 frequencies (divide by 0)
- IT fixed pattern break and pattern jump .. both params are
hex unlike all other formats.
- IT fixed arpeggio depth
- IT enabled end of song marker.. it was crashing on this b4
- INTERFACE Fixed memory leak.. it would slowly leak memory in
realtime until windows ran out of resources and crashed! :)
- IT fixed porta bugs.. oops i was portamento'ing 2x too fast
- IT fixed instrument bug. it was updating all nna channel's
envelopes etc, using only the most recent nna's instrument
definition, instead of the instrument that should have been
associated with each individual nna channel.
- IT fixed set pan (Xxx) bug
- IT fixed invalid pattern bug with patterns defined that are
larger than the number of patterns specified in the file.
- IT fixed vibrato (Hxy) bug
- IT fixed big NNA bug.. i was performing NNA's based on the
new instrument's nna flags instead of the one it was
cutting off!
- IT fixed the past nna s7x effects.. now the number of channels
mixed on the interface matches exactly that of impulse
trackers!
20/10/98 2.01b
--------------
+ IT Added preliminary volume envelope support (no sustain loops)
+ IT Added channel volume slide
+ IT Added noteoff & notecut (not the effect, the note type)
19/10/98 2.00b
--------------
* First private release Version, includes MOD, S3M and XM and IT
support. New software mixers, win32 only. Removed 669,FAR &
MTM support, old interface is gone, new win32 interface..
jeezus has it been 3 years? im getting too old for this shit:)
* IT Support is REALLY basic.. roughly 30% done.
- XM Fixed bug with envelope loopend.

* now checks if the samples are too big for the card.
- Voices now play almost simultaneously instead of 1 after the
other like before
+ Added Technicality-Index (tm) meter! Truly a cool feature.

- Pattern Loop bug fixed, I didnt know pattern loop stored
seperate values for each channel.
- pattern jump + pattern break bug fixed now all those weird
backwards tunes work RIGHT.
+ Added S3M's Fast Volume Slide bug, err feature :)
++ NOW PMODE! Load any sized tune you like now and still have
heaps of memory left
+ NEW tracker screen. Watch pattern data like a tracker
- Keyboard LED flashing removed, caused crashes on some
peoples computers.. sigh it was rather cool.
+ NEW technical info screen. Watch a lot of meaningless info
appear on the screen. Good for developers to check against.
- .MOD bug fixed, now those extremely high and low octaves
supported PROPERLY.. (unlike some cMOD players;)
- sample offset bug fixed.
+ Dynamic interface installed, now any screen can be called up
from any other screen, instead of just from the main screen
like before.
* Error handling changed for a lot better stability.
+ File Selector included for all those losers who wanted it :)
+ Added effect Ixy - Tremor - perfect I think unlike other
players.. compared against Scream Tracker 3
- Fixed >64kb sample loading bug - was causing crashes
- Fixed MTM loader bug after about 6 hours of tearing out hair
* File Selector now accessable while song is still playing,
press escape to return to the main interface.
- sample uploader recoded, fixed. 16 bit samples now load
a lot better (this is actually from 1.07 which isnt released
yet and probably wont be for a while ;)
- a zillion little other bugs fixed.
13/6/95 1.05
-------------
- GUS looping clicks removed.
- Mute bug fixed. Wouldnt unmute unused channles.
10/6/95 1.04

+ More memory in dos shell! around 30kb on average sized tunes.
* A lot faster.
- Pattern break fixed. Tested on backward.mod by FireLight
