* 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.
- S_PrecacheLevel() must also mark currently playing sounds as
used. If we don't, the sound could be unloaded and the underlying
channel stopped without triggering a channel callback. That would leave
the code in s_sound.cpp thinking the sound is still playing even though
it isn't.
- Added an invalid channel check to FMODSoundRenderer::StopChannel() so
that orphan channels passed to it will be returned at least when
S_StopAllChannels() is called.
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.
sounds queued up while the Channel Group Target Unit is inactive will all play at the same time
once the unit is made active. To avoid this, it is now only deactivated when the gamestate is
GS_LEVEL. Otherwise, it just gets muted. Fixes http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=33592 "Strife voices overlap"

actor+channel. Since in this case, it's really just restarting the sound, it shouldn't limit
it. (Since it's already playing, we know the limit wasn't exceeded when it started playing, so
it shouldn't be exceeded if we restart it now.)

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.
SVN r3350 (trunk)
- Initialize the alt HUD explicitly in D_DoomMain.
- don't let S_UnloadReverbDef leave a broken list of sound environments behind.
- Added more code to explicitly delete data before initializing it.
SVN r3039 (trunk)
- 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.)
