- replace all implicit conversions from FString to const char * in the header files (so that it can be test compiled with the implicit type conversion turned off without throwing thousands of identical errors.)
* 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.
UpdateSounds will not be called during screen wipes and the entire setup of this function suggests that this is not advisable at all.
The OpenAL stream updates were done deep inside this function implicitly.
This caused music to stop while a wipe was in progress. So in order to allow uninterrupted music playback during screen wipes the music updates need to be handled separately from sound updates and be called both in the main loop and the wipe loop.
I think that the OpenAL music updating should be offloaded to a separate thread but at least it's working now without causing interruptions during wipes.
- move D_LoadWadSettings to keysections.cpp.
- made some more data reloadable.
- data structures filled by P_SetupLevel should be cleared before loading the level. They can remain non-empty in case of an error. There's probably more to fix here...
- fixed: MidiDevices and MusicAliases were not cleared before reloading local SNDINFOs.
- fixed signed/unsigned warnings in AddSwitchPair for real (GCC really allows -1u? MSVC prints a warning for that.)

- 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.

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.
SVN r2424 (trunk)
* Second argument: Volume scalar. 0 and 128 are normal volume. (Where "normal" is whatever
it was defined with in SNDINFO.) Other values scale it accordingly.
* Third argument: Minimum distance before volume fading starts.
* Fourth argument: Maximum distance at which the sound is audible. Setting either of these to 0
will use whatever they were defined with in SNDINFO.

- fixed: The sound channel structure should not store the sound table's entries' addresses which are stored in a TArray by pointer. In case the array gets reallocated very bad things can happen. This caused some bad crashes when GZDoom's FraggleScript implementation created new sound entries.
SVN r2114 (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)
structure.
- Fixed: Items which should stay but had an IF_ALWAYSPICKUP flag were removed.
- Fixed: The pickup flash must only play when an item is picked up so the
correct place to spawn it is in AInventory::Touch, not in AInventory::GoAway.
SVN r1278 (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.

method to the SoundRenderer class so that this function doesn't need to
load the sound for the NullSoundRenderer.
- Took some more non-FMOD related code out of fmodsound.cpp, including the
code that checks for raw and Doom sounds. This means that sfxinfo_t is no
longer needed in the SoundRenderer class so I took out all references to it.
SVN r1208 (trunk)
to the rolloff information back to NULL when starting the sound fails.
- Fixed: Rolloff information was taken from the sfxinfo that contained the
actual sound data, not the one that was used for starting the sound.

and sectors are done in s_sound.cpp and not in fmodsound.cpp. Also removed
several 'sector' parameters because they were never used inside the sound code.

during it.
- UI sounds are now omitted from savegames.
- Fixed: Menu sounds had been restricted to one at a time again.
- Moved the P_SerializeSounds() call to the end of G_SerializeLevel() so that
it will occur after the players are loaded.
- Added fixes from FreeBSD for 0-length and very large string buffers
passed to myvsnprintf.

arbitrary point. It has been replaced with a variant that takes a polyobject
as a source, since that was the only use that couldn't be rewritten with the
other variants. This also fixes the bug that polyobject sounds were not
successfully saved and caused a crash when reloading the game. Note that
this is a significant change to how equality of sound sources is determined,
so some things may not behave quite the same as before. (Which would be a
bug, but hopefully everything still sounds the same.)
SVN r1059 (trunk)
the rest of the game is concerned, these sounds will never stop once they
have been started until they are explicitly stopped. If they are evicted
from their channels, the sound code will restart them as soon as possible.
This means that instead of this:
if (!S_IsActorPlayingSomething(actor, CHAN_WEAPON, -1))
{
S_Sound(actor, CHAN_WEAPON|CHAN_LOOP, soundid, 1, ATTN_NORM);
}
The following is now just as effective:
S_Sound(actor, CHAN_WEAPON|CHAN_LOOP, soundid, 1, ATTN_NORM);
There are also a couple of other ramifications presented by this change:
* The full state of the sound system (sans music) is now stored in save
games. Any sounds that were playing when you saved will still be
playing when you load. (Try saving while Korax is making a speech in
Hexen to hear it.)
* Using snd_reset will also preserve any playing sounds.
* Movie playback is disabled, probably forever. I did not want to
update the MovieDisable/ResumeSound stuff for the new eviction
tracking code. A properly updated movie player will use the VMR,
which doesn't need these functions, since it would pipe the sound
straight through the sound system like everything else, so I decided
to dump them now, which leaves the movie player in a totally unworkable
state.

- Changed S_Sound() to take the same floating point attenuation that the
internal S_StartSound() uses. Now ambient sounds can use the public
S_Sound() interface.
- Fixed: S_RelinkSound() compared the points of the channels against the
from actor's point, rather than checking the channels' mover.
- Changed Strife's animated doors so that their sounds originate from the
interior of the sector making them and not from the entire vertical height
of the map.
SVN r1055 (trunk)
consideration the size and shape of the sector producing the sound. See
the lifts on Doom 2 MAP30 and compare with previous versions.
- Fixed: The stop sound for sector-based sound sequences was not played with
the CHAN_AREA flag.
- Removed the distinction between S_Sound() and S_SoundID() functions. Use
S_Sound() for both names and IDs from now on.
SVN r1034 (trunk)
any zone you want.
- Using a too-recent version of FMOD now gives an error, since there may be
breaking changes to the API from one version to the next (excluding
revisions in stable branches, which only represent bug fixes).
- Updated fmod_wrap.h for FMOD 4.16 and corrected a bug that had gone
unnoticed before: The delayhi and delaylo parameters for Channel::setDelay()
and getDelay() were swapped.
SVN r1032 (trunk)
define any new ones of its own, I'm pre-emptively renaming the SNDEAX lump
to REVERBS to remove any possible misunderstanding that this is something
that requires EAX hardware support. (Ideally, it would have been REVERBDEF,
but that's 10 characters long.) The eaxedit console command has also been
renamed to reverbedit for the same reason.
- Fixed: The Palette part of FRemapTable was not initialized with alpha values
other than 0. I'm not sure if it would be better to fix this in the game
palette that it copies from or not, but right now, they get set
unconditionally to 255.

3D panning.
- The listener's velocity is now set at 0 for the sound engine. The player
moves so fast that you can hear the doppler shift just by running around,
otherwise.
- Changed the sound code so that all sounds that start playing on a single
tic actually start playing at the exact same sample position.
