I wonder why I didn't catch this in sunday. For some reason a "make
clean ; make" cycle was necessary. Maybe a corner case that the header
dependencies didn't catch?
There's no need to exclude directories from search by flags. In fact
the Unix backend has worked nicely for years without it... Sadly we
can't remove the now superfluous 'canhave' and 'musthave' attributes
from Sys_FindFirst() and Sys_FindNext() since they're defined in
shared.h and may be used from custom game DLLs.
There're two possible problems with the calculation of the number of
sound buffers for Vorbis if OpenAL is in use:
* We assume that the (more or less) maximum number buffers is allocated
during map load. This is not correct if in a multiplayer game a lot of
custom models with custom sound connect at a later time.
* 64 buffers (about 3 seconds worth of music) may be too low in some
situations.
Work around this by recalculating the number of buffers if necessary.
We're now reserving about 256 (== 12 seconds) buffers.
This may fix issue #252.
Newer openal-soft versions changed the way how the processed buffers are
counted when in AL_STOPPED state. Previously only processed buffers were
counted, now all buffers are. Change our unqueue logic to match this new
behavior.
This was debugged and fixed @xorw, I'm just committing the patch. This
closes issue #185.
I'm not quite sure if this really makes a difference. But it's the only
idea I have regarding several "Quake II hangs at shutdown when OpenAL is
run with Pulseaudio backend" bugs.
AL_PlayChannel() is only called by AL_AddLoopSounds() and
S_IssuePlaysound() - but only the latter set a volume there.
Because of that, loopsounds weren't hearable anymore after the last
commit which removed adding s_volume to all volumes in AL_PlayChannel().
This is fixed by setting the volume for looped sounds in
AL_AddLoopSounds() as well.
Looped sounds don't seem to have a customizable volume and are always
played at full volume (the volume is only changed by distance, but
OpenAL does that automatically).
OpenAL sources are reused in Quake2, so if a source has once been used
for a sound coming from the view entity, it'd stay relative, unless
told not to.
So now I set source's AL_SOURCE_RELATIVE to AL_TRUE or AL_FALSE in
AL_PlayChannel(), depending on the source coming from the player or not.
Thanks a lot to Tommi Teistelä for identifying the problem and pushing
me in the right direction!
OGG_OpenName(): add ogg_ignoretrack0 cvar to set whether we respect
default playback behaviour when track 0 is requested to be played via
standard cd audio playback.

No, this is not a rage quit but the result of a long discussion. There
are several reasons for us to drop OS X support:
- OS X support was always more or less hacky. For example is was never
really integrated into the build system and some features like the
OpenAL sound backend never worked well.
- The OS X support never grew into the new world based upon SDL2.
- It was broken since at least Lion which was released 4 years ago.
- None of the developers has a Mac or plans to buy one. Supporting
a software for a platform not used by the developers is more or
less impossible.
- And despite several appeals no one from the OS X community ever
stept up and send patches.
Removed are:
- Makefile support
- The OpenAL quirks
- The Cocoa bindings
- The framworks
Not removed is:
- Savegame support
- Memory management support
- Platform detection
- OpenGL and SDL includes
So, if someone steps up and does a modern, fully integrated port based
upon SDL2 we're happy to merge it back. The requirements are:
- It must be a clean port, without any hacks
- Full build system integration must be provided
- The port must be maintained even after it was merged. At every release
binaries must be build, API / ABI changes with new OS X versions must
be tracked.
Testing showed that after the last round of sound changes FreeBSD is the
only platform with distorted sound when s_volume is set too high. I'm
pretty sure that it's caused by a bug in the OSS backend of openal-soft.
I'll need to analyze this more and maybe write a problem report. Since
FreeBSD users should be experienced enough to lower the volume when
there are problem (there's a FAQ in our README!), use the same default
volume on all platforms.
