Previously, error_string() returned char* which is bad Serenity style
and caused issues when other error handling methods were tried. As both
WavLoader and (future) FLAC loader store a String internally for the
error message, it makes sense to return a String reference instead.
Prior code in `WavLoader::get_more_samples()` would attempt to
read the requested number of samples without actually checking
whether that many samples were remaining in the stream.
This was the cause of an audible pop at the end of a track, due
to reading non-audio data that is sometimes at the end of a Wave file.
Now we only attempt to read up to the end of sample data, but no
further.
Also, added comments to clarify the meaning of "sample", and how it
should be independent of the number of channels.
This fixes a bug where if you try to play a Wave file a second
time (or loop with `aplay -l`), the second time will be pure
noise.
The function `Audio::Loader::seek` is meant to seek to a specific
audio sample, e.g. seek(0) should go to the first audio sample.
However, WavLoader was interpreting seek(0) as the beginning
of the file or stream, which contains non-audio header data.
This fixes the bug by capturing the byte offset of the start of the
audio data, and offseting the raw file/stream seek by that amount.
LibAudio's WavLoader plugin for loading WAV files now supports loading
audio files with 32-bit float or 64-bit float samples.
By supporting these new non-int sample formats, Audio::Buffer now stores
the sample format (out of a list of supported formats) instead of the
raw bit depth. (The bit depth is easily calculated with
pcm_bits_per_sample)

A C++ source file containing just
#include <LibFoo/Bar.h>
should always compile cleanly.
This patch adds missing header inclusions that could have caused weird error
messages if they were used in a different context. Also, this confused QtCreator.
