This helps to avoid flooding of output with the following messages on every MIDI song change:
fluidsynth: error: Unable to open file "/usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GS.sf2"
fluidsynth: error: Couldn't load soundfont file
fluidsynth: error: Failed to load SoundFont "/usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GS.sf2"
fluidsynth: error: Unable to open file "/usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2"
fluidsynth: error: Couldn't load soundfont file
fluidsynth: error: Failed to load SoundFont "/usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2"
Use snd_streambuffersize CVAR to set buffer size in kilobytes, from 16 to 1024
Name of existed CVAR from removed FMOD sound backend is used
Increased default size of stream buffer to 64 kB like it was in FMOD backend
This fixes the following compilation warnings:
src\sound\oalsound.cpp(1588): warning C4244: 'argument': conversion from 'unsigned int' to 'ALfloat', possible loss of data
src\sound\oalsound.cpp(1796): warning C4244: 'argument': conversion from 'unsigned int' to 'ALfloat', possible loss of data
Stopping a source in the middle of playback can causing undesirable "popping"
from a sudden change in amplitude. Setting the source gain to 0 gives OpenAL
the opportunity to ramp the source's output to 0, where it can be safely
stopped without causing a sudden change in amplitude.
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.
src/sound/oalsound.cpp:1288: error: non-constant-expression cannot be narrowed from type 'uint32_t' (aka 'unsigned int') to 'ALint' (aka 'int') in initializer list [-Wc++11-narrowing]
- added arrays to the config to hold entries for the softsynths' config files. This is not active yet, but will later be used to give the user a list of config options instead of having to type it by hand.
The needed headers are now included in the repo, which for these libraries is possible thanks to a stable ABI (at least on Windows, the other platforms still need to be checked but the headers only add, never remove or change existing content.)
The big advantage of this setup is that it allows building the project on Windows without any necessary setup - all that needs to be provided is the DLLs from the binary package.
This still requires some fixes for macOS and Linux. On MacOS the proper library names are missing and the ones for Linux are not verified. Both platforms should work, though, if the dynamic loading is disabled.
