- the "remaplist" has 256 entries, but the limit was too high (4096).
- the "patchtable" had 4096 entries, but the index was never > 15.
- removed disabled / outdated code.
- sound 'file' driver: added failure handling in the file open methods.
- soundmod: initialize default driver with NULL to avoid crash on failure.
- SB16: Fixed crash if no driver is present / removed unused members.
- Implemented wave and midi output using the 'soundfile' driver.
- Implemented dual midi/wave output in midimode/wavemode 3.
- Removed now obsolete output file handling and other cleanups.
- The wave input (recording) and OPL3 output features are not affected by
the wavemode setting.
- TODO: Similar rewrite of ES1370 wave output and related cleanups.
- Added the capability to load up to 4 sound drivers and added methods to
get pointers to the waveout, wavein and midiout services of a driver.
- Rewrite of the SB16 midi file output code. In midimode 2 and 3 the midiout
service of the 'file' driver is used. Removed obsolete midi file handling.
- Re-implemented the closemidioutput() method to make runtime changes of the
midi setup work with the new code.
creates the object and returns a pointer to it. TODO: Rewrite of the sound
configuration to support a more detailed setup (e.g. waveout with alsa,
dummy wavein, midiout to a file).
creates the object and returns a pointer to it. TODO: The wavein and midiout
components should also move to separate classes. When finished, it should be
possible to configure the sound support more detailed (e.g. waveout with sdl,
midiout with alsa and the dummy driver for wavein). Creating a separate
module for the output to file(s) is also possible.
- Define new structure bx_pcm_param_t and use it as a parameter for the method
sendwavepacket(). The method startwavepacket() is now called from
sendwavepacket() in case of a parameter change (temporary solution).
- soundsdl: Replaced waveready() call by some more accurate code for buffer
space check in sendwavepacket().
- soundsdl: Moved code for reading from audio buffer to a new function.
- soundsdl: Temporarily increase the audio buffer size.
- Preparing the SB16 code for the OPL emulation port from DOSBox.
- Reworked wave callback code to support 2 input sources (no mixing yet).
- Fixed SDL sound output.
- Beep generator fixes.
- Prepared the SB16 code for FM OPL output support (to be ported from DOSBox).
- SB16: log file name now also available as a runtime option
- SB16: changed order of the runtime options and minor other changes
- ES1370: changed the "wavemode" parameter type to bx_param_enum_c and set up
more accurate dependencies (similar to SB16)
- ES1370: wave mode and file name now available as a runtime option
- If the runtime flag of a bx_list_c object is set, all it's items are set up
as runtime options.
- Set the runtime parameter for all top-level runtime-only lists. Setting up
each single parameter is no longer needed.
- Always initialize the lowlevel sound driver (for wave input / recording)
- Wave input (recording) is now independent from the wave output mode
- Changed the "wavemode" parameter type to bx_param_enum_c and set up more
accurate dependencies
- Minor related changes
- added parameters 'wavemode' and 'wavefile' to the 'es1370' option
- ES1370: added new method sendwavepacket() (similar to SB16)
- moved VOC file methods from sb16.cc to soundmod.cc and added macros for them
- SB16: minor fixes
- use this feature for floppy read and write operations. This does not mean that
the floppy now works faster than realtime, but it reduces the number of DMA
calls from the CPU.
- removed outdated file: patch.fast-dma-cbothamy
- TODO: implement this feature in the SB16 (8 and 16 bit)
- TODO #1: update MSVC workspace files
- TODO #2: these 'device classes' could be moved to subdirectories, too:
- pci (when we have more than one chipset)
- display (when we have one more device and vga / cirrus cleaned up)
