m_loaded_samples was incremented with the value of the processed
buffer. This causes m_loaded_samples to be bigger at some point
than m_total_samples when downsampling, as the buffer would contain
more samples than actually loaded.
LibAudio now supports pausing playback, clearing the buffer queue,
retrieving the played samples since the last clear and retrieving
the currently playing shared buffer id
When playing an ABuffer, the count of samples were determined by the
size of the SharedBuffer. This caused small pauses of up to 512
samples during the playback, when the size of the shared buffer was
rounded up to a multiple of 4096. This problem was amplified by the
fact that the AResampleHelper was created every time a new chunk of
audio was to be processed, causing inconsistencies in the playback of
wav files.
Show some information about the file we're playing, and display how many
samples we've played out of how many total.
This might be a bit buggy as I haven't tested it with many different files,
but it's a start. :^)
This is a total hack, because I haven't really looked into why these are
happening. Somehow we're producing one extra sample and it's glitching
up the sound stream ever so slightly.
We were limiting ourselves to only play WAV files smaller than 42 MB
for no particular reason. This patch increases the limit to 1 GB.
Perhaps there should not be any limit at all, but 1GB seems like a
reasonable sanity check at the moment. :^)
This allows us to carry the same buffer all the way from the WAV loader
to the AudioServer mixer.
This alleviates some of the stutter, but there's still a noticeable
skip when switching buffers. We're gonna need to do better. :^)
I had to solve a bunch of things simultaneously to make this work.
Refactor AWavLoader to be a streaming loader rather than a one-shot one.
The constructor parses the header, and if everything looks good, you can
repeatedly ask the AWavLoader for sample buffers until it runs out.
Also send a message from AudioServer when a buffer has finished playing.
That allows us to implement a blocking variant of play().
Use all of this in aplay to play WAV files chunk-at-a-time.
This is definitely not perfect and it's a little glitchy and skippy,
but I think it's a step in the right direction.
The only part of this that actually differs between all of them is the
stream -> sample reading, so turn that into a function that the channel
reader can call as it wants.
The center of this is now an ABuffer class in LibAudio.
ABuffer contains ASample, which has two channels (left/right) in
floating point for mixing purposes, in 44100hz.
This means that the loaders (AWavLoader in this case) needs to do some
manipulation to get things in the right format, but that we don't need
to care after format loading is done.
While we're at it, do some correctness fixes. PCM data is unsigned if
it's 8 bit, but 16 bit is signed. And /dev/audio also wants signed 16
bit audio, so give it what it wants.
On top of this, AudioServer now accepts requests to play a buffer.
The IPC mechanism here is pretty much a 1:1 copy-paste from
LibGUI/WindowServer. It can be generalized more in the future, but for
now I want to get AudioServer working decently first :)
Additionally, add a little "aplay" tool to load and play a WAV file. It
will break with large WAVs (run out of memory, heh...) but it's a start.
Future work needs to make AudioServer block buffer submission from
clients until it has played the buffer they are requesting to play.
* Add a LibAudio, and move WAV file parsing there (via AWavFile and AWavLoader)
* Add CLocalSocket, and CSocket::connect() variant for local address types.
We make some small use of this in WindowServer (as that's where we
modelled it from), but don't get too invasive as this PR is already
quite large, and the WS I/O is a bit carefully done
* Add an AClientConnection which will eventually be used to talk to
AudioServer (and make use of it in Piano, though right now it really
doesn't do anything except connect, using our new CLocalSocket...)
