This isn't supported with the OpenAL backend, and instead of trying to make a
workaround for it, a better approach would probably be to make a FileReader
implementation that handles URLs.
The idea is to have more control on the game side instead of dealing with these formats in the backend, which was done for FMod because it already had the decoders implemented.
However, with OpenAL this setup makes no sense and only complicates future extensions that can be better handled at a higher level.
This one was particularly nasty because Windows also defines a DWORD, but in Windows it is an unsigned long, not an unsigned int so changing types caused type conflicts and not all could be removed.
Those referring to the Windows type have to be kept, fortunately they are mostly in the Win32 directory, with a handful of exceptions elsewhere.
* make the critical section local to the respective platform instead of polluting everything with system specific symbols.
* moved system specific class declarations into the source file instead of having them in the global header.
This commit temporarily disables the Windows system device because it cannot be done without polluting the global header and still needs a bit of refactoring.
* OPL: specify the core to use for playing this song
* FluidSynth: specify a soundfont that should be used for playing the song.
* WildMidi: specify a config file that should be used for playing the song.
* Timidity++: specify an executable that should be used for playing the song. At least under Windows this allows using Timidity++ with different configs if the executable and each single config are placed in different directories.
* GUS: currently not operational, but should later also specify the config. This will need some work, because right now this is initialized only when the sound system is initialized.
* all other: no function.
These options should mainly be for end users who want to fine-tune how to play the music.
The pointless error message in WildMidi_Shutdown was removed to keep the rest of the code simple and allowing to call this even when the device never was used.
Instead of the previous method where there'd be a filename and offset, and/or a
memory pointer, this uses a class to access resource data regardless of its
underlying form.
degree of support for songs that use loop controllers to loop the song back to a point after
the very beginning of the song.
- Enable loops during SMF generation. Infinite loops will be clamped to some finite amount. (This is currently 30, so a 3 minute song will still restart from the very beginning after 90 minutes)
- Fixed: The SMF, HMI, and XMI readers all generated invalid MEVT_NOP events.
- Fixed: SMF generation died on songs that set their tempo during the initial beat.
SVN r2864 (trunk)
- Was there any reason why the MIDI_GUS device was so well hidden from the user? It sure does not sound broken. Added it to MIDI menu and $mididevice.
SVN r2862 (trunk)
- Added a generic Standard MIDI File creator that works with any of the sequencers. mus2midi.cpp
is no longer used but is kept around as a reference.
SVN r2677 (trunk)
- Moved MIDI precaching logic into MIDIStreamer so that SMF and HMI files can both use the
same implementation.
- Added a player for HMI midi files.
SVN r2675 (trunk)
which is painfully apparent on hexen.wad MAP01's music, which hits around 90 voices.
- Patch from Chris:
* Add FluidSynth to the menu.
* Enable FluidSynth for MIDI as well as MUS.
* Fix CmakeLists.txt.

to try compiling it myself on Windows to see if it's really that slow or if
Ubuntu just ships an unoptimized version, because performance is pretty pathetic
when compared to the other options. (I understand that it's a complete SoundFont2
renderer, so it is understandably slower than something like TiMidity++, but still.
Does it really need to be around 10x slower? I played with the chorus, reverb, and
interpolation settings, and none of them seemed to make much difference in
performance.)
SVN r2545 (trunk)
atexit for it, which gets executed after the sound system shuts down.
- Fixed: FPlayList::Backup() failed to wrap around below entry 0 because Position is
unsigned now.
SVN r2188 (trunk)
run into the adjacent columns.
- Added a NullSoundRenderer so that most of the checks against a NULL GSnd
can be removed.
- Fixed: Looping sounds must always successfully allocate a channel, even if
it's only a pre-evicted channel.
SVN r1058 (trunk)
heavily customized version of DUMB (Dynamic Universal Music Bibliotheque).
It has been slightly modified by me:
* Added support for Ogg Vorbis-compressed samples in XM files ala FMOD.
* Removed excessive mallocs from the replay core.
* Rerolled the loops in resample.c. Unrolling them made the object file
~250k large while providing little benefit. Even at ~100k, I think it's
still larger than it ought to be, but I'll live with it for now.
Other than that, it's essentially the same thing you'd hear in foobar2000,
minus some subsong detection features. Release builds of the library look
like they might even be slightly faster than FMOD, which is a plus.
- Fixed: Timidity::font_add() did not release the file reader it created.
- Fixed: The SF2 loader did not free the sample headers in its destructor.
SVN r995 (trunk)
there were no designated characters to strip at the end of it.
- Added support for Shoutcast/Icecast playlists.
- Added an error message when a playlist could not be opened.
- Added support for PLS format playlists, in addition to M3U.
- Changed FPlayList to use an array of FStrings.
- Fixed: Playlists required every song to be specified by an absolute path.
SVN r951 (trunk)
wave file.
- Changed the default channel velocity for MUS files from 64 to 100 to
better match apparent MIDI practice. (Would like to know what this is
supposed to be.)
- Changed the mus2midi channel assignments to match the internal player's.
- Fixed: apply_envelope_to_amp() should clamp the mix levels to 0.
SVN r926 (trunk)
channel when restarting the song, rather than emitting a single note off
event which only has a 1 in 127 chance of being for a note that's playing
on that channel. Then I decided it would probably be a good idea to reset
all the controllers as well.
- Increasing the size of the internal Timidity stream buffer from 1/14 sec
(copied from the OPL player) improved its sound dramatically, so apparently
Timidity has issues with short stream buffers. It's now at 1/2 sec in
length. However, there seems to be something weird going on with
corazonazul_ff6boss.mid near the beginning where it stops and immediately
restarts a guitar on the exact same note.
- Added a new sound debugging cvar: snd_drawoutput, which can show various
oscilloscopes and spectrums.
- Internal TiMidity now plays music.
- Changed the progdir global variable into an FString.
