My commit last month "Fix SDL audio playback with surround sound" broke
16-bit stereo sound. S_TransferStereo16() still assumed that dma.samples
was a power of two. I also cleaned up code related to the previously
mentioned commit.
Moved all the code using Altivec intrinsics to separate files. This
means we can optionally use GCC's -maltivec on just these files, which
are chosen at runtime if the CPU supports Altivec, and compile the rest
without it, making a single binary that has Altivec optimizations but
can still work on G3.
Unlike SSE and similar extensions on x86, there does not seem to be
a way to enable conditional, targeted use of Altivec based on runtime
detection (which is what ioquake3 wants to do) without also giving the
compiler permission to use Altivec in code generation; so to not crash
on CPUs that do not implement Altivec, we'll have to turn it off
altogether, except in translation units that are only entered when
runtime Altivec detection is successful.
This has been tested on Linux PPC (on an Altivec-enabled CPU),
but we may need further work after testing trickles out to other
PowerPC devices and ancient Mac OS X builds.
I did a little work on this patch, but the majority of the effort belongs
to Simon McVittie (thanks!).
- Fix Ryan's FIXME and have voip packet buffer on the server dynamically allocated via Z_Malloc and store pointers in a circular buffer
- Improve voip target parsing on top of Ben Millwood's patch
- Add new "spatial" target where speaker is spatialized in 3d space and can be heard by all clients in hearing range (s_alMaxDistance)
(#4467)
- Decrease voip sound lengths from 240ms to 80ms per voip packet to mitigate udp packet loss and decrease latency
- Protocol version incremented to 71
+ An abstract codec system, simplifying support for new formats
+ Changes versus BlackAura's patch:
o Consolidated the OpenAL parts into one file
o Changed the function naming scheme to more closely resemble Q3
o Changed the interface to fall back on the "base" sound system
if loading OpenAL fails
+ This is enabled on Linux and MinGW for now, but should work on the
other *nixs with appropriate additions to the Makefile
+ NOT enabled on OS X or MSVC Windows builds
+ Probably breaks the Windows build again
* Retabulated sdl_snd.c and made the messages less verbose since
there do not seem to be many having problems with SDL sound now
* Updated TODO
* Moved ChangeLog to root
* Updated ChangeLog
* s/Foobar/Quake III Arena Source Code/
* Biggest patch EVAR. I wonder how many mail boxes this will fill...
