* Use a different method for HRTF mixingChris Robinson2014-11-223-41/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This new method mixes sources normally into a 14-channel buffer with the channels placed all around the listener. HRTF is then applied to the channels given their positions and written to a 2-channel buffer, which gets written out to the device. This method has the benefit that HRTF processing becomes more scalable. The costly HRTF filters are applied to the 14-channel buffer after the mix is done, turning it into a post-process with a fixed overhead. Mixing sources is done with normal non-HRTF methods, so increasing the number of playing sources only incurs normal mixing costs. Another benefit is that it improves B-Format playback since the soundfield gets mixed into speakers covering all three dimensions, which then get filtered based on their locations. The main downside to this is that the spatial resolution of the HRTF dataset does not play a big role anymore. However, the hope is that with ambisonics- based panning, the perceptual position of panned sounds will still be good. It is also an option to increase the number of virtual channels for systems that can handle it, or maybe even decrease it for weaker systems.

* Fix 5.1 surround soundChris Robinson2014-11-071-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Apparently, 5.1 surround sound is supposed to use the "side" channels, not the back channels, and we've been wrong this whole time. That means the "5.1 Side" is actually the correct 5.1 setup, and using the back channels is anomalous. Additionally, this means the 5.1 buffer format should also use the the side channels instead of the back channels. A final note: the 5.1 mixing coefficients are changed so both use the original 5.1 surround sound set (with the surround channels at +/-110 degrees). So the only difference now between 5.1 "side" and 5.1 "back" is the channel labels.

* Make alcSuspendContext and alcProcessContext batch updatesChris Robinson2014-10-122-72/+5
| | | | | | | | | | This behavior better matches Creative's hardware drivers and Rapture3D's OpenAL driver. A compatibility environment variable is provided to restore the old no-op behavior for any app that behaves badly from this change (set __ALSOFT_SUSPEND_CONTEXT to "ignore"). If too many apps have a problem with this, the default behavior may need to be changed to ignore, with the env var providing an option to defer/batch instead.

* Use an ambisonics-based panning methodChris Robinson2014-09-302-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For mono sources, third-order ambisonics is utilized to generate panning gains. The general idea is that a panned mono sound can be encoded into b-format ambisonics as: w[i] = sample[i] * 0.7071; x[i] = sample[i] * dir[0]; y[i] = sample[i] * dir[1]; ... and subsequently rendered using: output[chan][i] = w[i] * w_coeffs[chan] + x[i] * x_coeffs[chan] + y[i] * y_coeffs[chan] + ...; By reordering the math, channel gains can be generated by doing: gain[chan] = 0.7071 * w_coeffs[chan] + dir[0] * x_coeffs[chan] + dir[1] * y_coeffs[chan] + ...; which then get applied as normal: output[chan][i] = sample[i] * gain[chan]; One of the reasons to use ambisonics for panning is that it provides arguably better reproduction for sounds emanating from between two speakers. As well, this makes it easier to pan in all 3 dimensions, with for instance a "3D7.1" or 8-channel cube speaker configuration by simply providing the necessary coefficients (this will need some work since some methods still use angle-based panpot, particularly multi-channel sources). Unfortunately, the math to reliably generate the coefficients for a given speaker configuration is too costly to do at run-time. They have to be pre- generated based on a pre-specified speaker arangement, which means the config options for tweaking speaker angles are no longer supportable. Eventually I hope to provide config options for custom coefficients, which can either be generated and written in manually, or via alsoft-config from user-specified speaker positions. The current default set of coefficients were generated using the MATLAB scripts (compatible with GNU Octave) from the excellent Ambisonic Decoder Toolbox, at https://bitbucket.org/ambidecodertoolbox/adt/

* Disable the autowah effectChris Robinson2014-08-061-0/+2
| | | | | | | | There's apparently some issues with it causing noise or killing the output. It might be due to the per-sample changes being too harsh for the filter to keep up with, but it's not something I can take care of in time for release. This commit should be reverted after release when work on fixing it can resume.

* Always set the active source's update methodChris Robinson2014-07-261-5/+7
| | | | | | | If the source is stopped, changes its buffer, then played again quickly, the source will never be removed from the active source list causing the update method to remain as it was. If the buffer was changed between mono and multi- channel, this causes it to use the wrong method.
