some of the stereoness of stereo sounds played in 3D. My testing was done only with stereo
speakers, however, and I did not realize that it was moving the perceived physical location
of the sound itself (because it sounded fine with my two speakers). So when 3D spread started
working with mono sounds as well in FMOD 4.28, sound positioning was completely broken for
everything when outputting to more than two speakers, because sounds were being spread
across a 180 degree arc.
Whoops!
Stereo sounds are now completely mono when not played by you, the listener.

major change, so I'm making no provisions for using older FMOD DLLs when compiled with the
4.38 API. However, sound positioning is still broken like in 4.28, so you are recommended
to continue building with 4.26. Also, the Freeverb-based DSP unit is no longer present in
FMOD, so the underwater effect is currently unavailable when using 4.38 until I can figure
out how to make it work with the SFX Reverb unit instead. (And on that topic, the Freeverb
DSP was officially only for stereo outputs, so I really shouldn't have been using it in the
first place.)
- Since I would like to eventually figure out the sound positioning issues with the newer
FMODs, the following have been added:
* snd_drawoutput now labels its outputs with the speakers they represent.
* DCanvas::DrawTextA was added as an alias for DrawText, since the Windows headers #define
DrawText to a Unicode/non-Unicode variant.
* The loopsound console command was added to spawn an actor at the player's location and
have it loop a sound infinitely.
Hopefully I can figure it out. FMOD's 3D example works, so I assume the problem lies with
my code, though I don't really know where to begin looking for the problem.

on the window_size, so for large numbers of output channels, it would not allocate enough
space for the spectrum data (which is definied by SPECTRUM_SIZE, not the window_size) and
write junk on the stack when drawing the spectrums, causing a crash.

- Use fluid_patchset to specify the SoundFont(s) for FluidSynth instead of doubling up with
snd_midipatchset, which is already used by FMOD.
SVN r2555 (trunk)
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.)

CHAN_LOOP so that the higher level sound code knows they loop and can handle them accordingly.
- Added support for a LOOP_BIDI tag. Set it to "1", "On", "True", or "Yes" to use a
bidirectional loop. This only works with sounds and not music, because music is streamed
so does not support them.
- Extended custom loop support to work with samples as well as music.
SVN r2434 (trunk)
way MP3 obfuscates custom tags. Vorbis and FLAC are fine. (I could make it work with MP3,
but you should be using Vorbis instead.) They are:
* LOOP_START: Start time for the loop. If omitted, the song repeats from the beginning.
* LOOP_END: End time for the loop. If omitted, the song loops at the end. (If you need to specify this, why aren't you using a shorter song.)
You only need to specify one of these tags to set the custom loop. Naturally, you can set
them both, as well. The format for each tag is the same:
* If it contains a colon (:), it specifies by time. This may be of the form 00:00:00.00
(HH:MM:SS.ss) to specify by play. Various parts may be left off. e.g. To start the loop
at 20 seconds in, you can use ":20", 0:20", "00:00:20", ":20.0", etc. Values after the
decimal are fractions of a second and accurate to one millisecond.
* If you don't include a colon but just have a raw number, then it's the number of PCM
samples at which to loop.
* Any characters other than digits (0-9), colons (:), or a single decimal point for the
seconds portion will result in the tag being ignored.

* Looping sounds that have been playing for a very long time, were evicted,
and then were restarted need to have their positions clamped to lie
within the bounds of the sounds. If we try to set a start position very
far beyond the end, it will overflow inside FMOD and not work.
* A start time of 0 is not actually valid and means the sound was never
assigned a start time.
- The latter bug also reveals a problem with starting looped sounds evicted:
They need to be assigned a start time so if they should have the opportunity
to start later, they will be properly synchronized.

position when evicting sounds, because restarting the sound system causes
the DSP clock to restart at 0, so start times that were recorded before
the reset are no longer applicable after the reset.
- Fixed: S_StopChannel() always set the channel's actor to NULL, eliminating
origin information when resetting the sound system.

in the gameinfo.
- Added Yes/No selections for Y/N messages so that you can answer them
entirely with a joystick.
- Fixed: Starting the menu at the title screen with a key other than Escape
left the top level menu out of the menu stack.
- Changed the save menu so that cancelling input of a new save name only
deactivates that control and does not completely close the menus.
- Fixed "any key" messages to override input to menus hidden beneath them and
to work with joysticks.
- Removed the input parameter from M_StartMessage and the corresponding
messageNeedsInput global, because it was redundant. Any messages that want
a Y/N response also supply a callback, and messages that don't care which
key you press don't supply a callback.
- Changed MKEY_Back so that it cancels out of text entry fields before
backing to the previous menu, which it already did for the keyboard.
- Changed the menu responder so that key downs always produce results,
regardless of whether or not an equivalent key is already down.

and a list of all attached controllers, and a second level for configuring
an individual controller.
- Fixed: Pressing Up at the top of a menu with more lines than fit on screen
would find an incorrect bottom position if the menu had a custom top height.
- Added the cvars joy_dinput, joy_ps2raw, and joy_xinput to enable/disable
specific game controller input systems independant of each other.
- Device change broadcasts are now sent to the Doom event queue, so
device scanning can be handled in one common place.
- Added a fast version of IsXInputDevice that uses the Raw Input device
list, because querying WMI for this information is painfully slow.
- Added support for compiling with FMOD Ex 4.26+ and running the game
with an older DLL. This combination will now produce sound.
SVN r1717 (trunk)
effect rather than as an input to the ChannelGroup Target Unit. This means
the water effect is now applied after any room reverb, rather than in
parallel with it.
- Fixed: UI sounds should not have reverb applied to them.
SVN r1450 (trunk)
DSP position. Without also synchronizing the stopping of sounds, it can
cause problems with things like the chainsaw where the sound is stopped and
immediately restarted, causing occasional gaps between the stopping of the
sound and the starting of the new one. (I added the start synchronization to
combat flanging of paired moving polyobjects when moving around, but I think
just removing velocity from the player for sound calculations takes care of
that well enough.)
SVN r1447 (trunk)
256 to 1024 to deal with a module that otherwise would not load.
- Removed the artificial restriction on not supporting Vorbis-compressed
samples in XMs if they are stereo, since it turns out that OggMod does
support them.
SVN r1316 (trunk)
do it the old way and scan every channel to see if it matches an actor/
entchannel pair.
- Fixed: S_RelinkSounds() did not move the SoundChans bitfield to the new
actor.
- Fixed: Stolen channels could be kept around by the high-level channels
indefinitely.
SVN r1289 (trunk)
- Removed extraneous printf parameter for Texman.Init startup message.
- Added newlines to the ends of a few headers that were missing them.
- Fixed more GCC errors/warnings.
SVN r1232 (trunk)
The rolloff and channel ended callbacks now call functions in s_sound.cpp
instead of working on the data itself and GSnd->StopSound has been replaced
with S_StopChannel.
SVN r1227 (trunk)
so that all files are included by a central one instead of compiling
each one separately. This speeds up the compilation process by 25%
when doing a complete rebuild in Visual C.
- Cleaned up more header dependencies.
