This improves the locality of reference when mixing and removes the
proxy sfx for streamed sounds.
The buffer for streamed sounds is allocated when the stream is opened
(since streamed sounds can't share buffers), and freed when the stream
is closed.
For block sounds, the buffer is reference counted (with the sfx holding
one reference, so currently block buffers never get freed), with their
reference count getting incremented on open and decremented on close.
That the reference counts get to 1 has been confirmed, so all that
should be needed is proper destruction of the sfx instances.
Still need to sort out just why channels leak across level changes.
The misinterpretations were due to either the cvar not being accessed
directly by the engine, but via only the callback, or the cvars were
accesssed only by progs (in which case, they should be float). The
remainder are a potential enum (hud gravity) and a "too hard basket"
(rcon password: need to figure out how I want to handle secret strings).
This is an extremely extensive patch as it hits every cvar, and every
usage of the cvars. Cvars no longer store the value they control,
instead, they use a cexpr value object to reference the value and
specify the value's type (currently, a null type is used for strings).
Non-string cvars are passed through cexpr, allowing expressions in the
cvars' settings. Also, cvars have returned to an enhanced version of the
original (id quake) registration scheme.
As a minor benefit, relevant code having direct access to the
cvar-controlled variables is probably a slight optimization as it
removed a pointer dereference, and the variables can be located for data
locality.
The static cvar descriptors are made private as an additional safety
layer, though there's nothing stopping external modification via
Cvar_FindVar (which is needed for adding listeners).
While not used yet (partly due to working out the design), cvars can
have a validation function.
Registering a cvar allows a primary listener (and its data) to be
specified: it will always be called first when the cvar is modified. The
combination of proper listeners and direct access to the controlled
variable greatly simplifies the more complex cvar interactions as much
less null checking is required, and there's no need for one cvar's
callback to call another's.
nq-x11 is known to work at least well enough for the demos. More testing
will come.
the resampler is being badly abused for streams, and it's not yet properly
autoconfiscated, but things are working. Better yet, at the correct pitch and
speed.
Rather than using an ifdef around the entire code, get autoconf to do the work
for us. For one thing, this allows doxygen to produce decent docs. It also
makes for less compalation when building without support for various formats.
