* 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.
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.
but only supports three pan positions and not the full 127 MIDI pan positions.
- Added opl_core cvar to select emulator core. 0 is MAME and 1 is DOSBox.
- Added DOSBox's LGPL OPL core, distantly related to one adlibemu.c written by Ken Silverman
(not to be confused with the ancient MAME-derived and GPL-licensed core also found in DOSBox).
I believe this corresponds to their "compat" emulator, but I'm not sure.

FMOD_INIT_ENABLE_PROFILE. Renamed the corresponding cvar to snd_profile.
- Removed the normalize parameter from SoundStream::Play().
- Disabled the chorus and reverb effects added to SDL_mixer's Timidity,
because they were probably never tested well, either. Thanks to the bug
in vc_alloc(), they were never even activated.
- Restored the exact frequency range search that was missing from SDL_mixer's
verion of select_sample().
- Fixed: vc_alloc(), kill_others(), and note_on() treated Voice::status as a
bit mask, when it's not. These were changes made to SDL_mixer's Timidity.
- Restored the original Timidity volume equation. The other louder one was
put in when I didn't realize all channels were mono and many notes sounded
too quiet because they never completed their attack phase.
- Fixed: FileReader::Gets() acted as if fgets() always read the maximum
number of characters.
- Fixed: FileReader::Open() did not set FilePos and StartPos to 0.

can be played as OPL can also be dumped.
- Removed the opl_enable cvar, since OPL playback is now selectable as just
another MIDI device.
- Added support for DRO playback and dual-chip RAW playback.
- Removed MUS support from OPLMUSSong, since using the OPLMIDIDevice with
MUSSong2 works just as well. There are still lots of leftover bits in
the class that should probably be removed at some point, too.
- Added dual-chip dumping support for the RAW format.
- Added DosBox Raw OPL (.DRO) dumping support. For whatever reason,
in_adlib calculates the song length for this format wrong, even though
the exact length is stored right in the header. (But in_adlib seems buggy
in general; too bad it's the only Windows version of Adplug that seems to
exist.)
- Rewrote the OPL dumper to work with MIDI as well as MUS.

floats, so I can write its output directly to the stream buffer. In
addition, this lets me bring the OPL volume level much closer to the
standard MIDI volume.

into a general MIDI player.
- Fixed: Passing false for a stream callback did not stop the stream.
- Removed opl_frequency, since the only time the emulation sounds good is
when it plays at the exact frequency of a real chip.
- Music no longer plays at all when snd_musicvolume is 0.
- Bumped up snd_sfxvolume and snd_musicvolume default values.

for FMOD Ex while at the same time removing support for FMOD 3. Be sure to update
your SDKs. GCC users, be sure to do a "make cleandep && make clean" before
building, or you will likely get inexplicable errors.
- Fixed: If you wanted to make cleandep with MinGW, you had to specifically
specify Makefile.mingw as the makefile to use.
- Added a normalizer to the OPL synth. It helped bring up the volume a little,
but not nearly as much as I would have liked.
- Removed MIDI Mapper references. It doesn't work with the stream API, and
it doesn't really exist on NT kernels, either.
- Reworked music volume: Except for MIDI, all music volume is controlled
through GSnd and not at the individual song level.
- Removed the mididevice global variable.
- Removed snd_midivolume. Now that all music uses a linear volume scale,
there's no need for two separate music volume controls.
- Increased snd_samplerate default up to 48000.
- Added snd_format, defaulting to "PCM-16".
- Added snd_speakermode, defaulting to "Auto".
- Replaced snd_fpu with snd_resampler, defaulting to "Linear".
- Bumped the snd_channels default up from a pitiful 12 to 32.
- Changed snd_3d default to true. The new cvar snd_hw3d determines if
hardware 3D support is used and default to false.
- Removed the libFLAC source, since FMOD Ex has native FLAC support.
- Removed the altsound code, since it was terribly gimped in comparison to
the FMOD code. It's original purpose was to have been as a springboard for
writing a non-FMOD sound system for Unix-y systems, but that never
happened.
- Finished preliminary FMOD Ex support.
SVN r789 (trunk)
- Fixed: The FMOD stream player must specify whether it wants to play the
sound looped or not when playback is started, not when the stream is created.
- Fixed: A_Saw didn't use the puff's damage type.
- Fixed: The AxeBlood's death state was using the wrong sprite frame.
- Fixed: The Mancubus had an attack sound defined even though it shouldn't.
