sendwavepacket() directly calls the conversion method and output(). In all other
cases it puts the unmodified data into a buffer and the conversion thread is
doing the main job and puts the data into the output buffer chain.
TODO: resampling could also be done by the new thread.
- Moved BX_INIT_MUTEX() call to start_mixer_thread() to reduce code duplication.
- Call BX_FINI_MUTEX() only when the mixer thread and mutex was really used.
- 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.
- removed disabled code for the sndPlaySound() function.
- removed now obsolete buffer ring for wave output.
- The new mothod waveout() is driven by the mixer thread. For the best results
you need to disable the 'realtime' sychronization and to find out a usable
IPS vaöue. The mixer also polls data from the speaker beep generator and
the OPL3 FM generator.
- TODO: Code cleanup in soundwin.cc, implementation in other sound modules.
- soundlow: prepared code for 2 pcm parameter sets:
emulated: requested by sendwavepacket()
real: used for the sound output
- soundsdl: startwaveplayback() rewritten to set_pcm_data().
- soundmod: some beep init code fixes.
- 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.
- added 'sound' option to select the driver and the wave output device
(see bochsrc sample for details)
- the wave device option of sb16 and es1370 is now only used to set up the
wave input device (if necessary)
- cleaned up the speaker code to initialize the 'sound' case correctly
- 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)
