BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.

Deleting the old internal audaspace.
Major changes from there are:
- The whole library was refactored to use C++11.
- Many stability and performance improvements.
- Major Python API refactor:
- Most requested: Play self generated sounds using numpy arrays.
- For games: Sound list, random sounds and dynamic music.
- Writing sounds to files.
- Sequencing API.
- Opening sound devices, eg. Jack.
- Ability to choose different OpenAL devices in the user settings.
There was a bug in the intended code behaviour to always seek with a
pitch of 1.0 regardless of pitch/pitch animation/doppler effects.
Check the bug report for a more detailed explanation of problems
concerning pitch and seeking.
Mainly it's related on a bad practice in SDL to force-define __SSE__
and __SSE2__ flags which generates quite some warnings and causes too
much noise.
There are some other warnings fixed. Should be no functional changes.
NeXyon, please check the changes in audaspace :)
Historically blender had an audio sample rate of 44.1 kHz as default which is mostly popular because it's the sample rate of audio CDs. Audaspace kept using this default from the pre 2.5 era. It was about time to change to 48 kHz, which is a more widespread standard nowadays, especially in video. It is the recommended sampling rate of the Audio Engineering Society.

The bug header is wrong, the file contains the high pitched sound, but the bug that existed was that animation rendering did not use the high quality resampler, while audio mixdown does.
Blender uses the low quality resampler to be as little CPU consuming as possible.
- rename WITH_EXTERNAL_AUDASPACE to WITH_SYSTEM_AUDASPACE.
- rename C/PYAUDASPACE to AUDASPACE_C/PY
- simplifying cmake defines and includes.
- fixing include paths and enabling WITH_SYSTEM_AUDASPACE for windows.
- fixing scons building.
- other minor build system fixes.
Fixes the problem that for big sequences too many file handles were open at the same time.
Changes the playback handles that the audio sequencing code manages to be closed and reopened when needed. The metric used is the current playback position in relation to the strip. If the strip is more than 10 seconds (configurable) away from the playback cursor, the handle is released and reopened when needed.
See D915.
This patch includes the work done in the terrible consequencer branch
that hasn't been merged to master minus a few controversial and WIP
stuff, like strip parenting, new sequence data structs and cuddly
widgets.
What is included:
* Strip extensions only when slipping. It can very easily be made an
option but with a few strips with overlapping durations it makes view
too crowded and difficult to make out.
* Threaded waveform loading + code that restores waveforms on undo (not
used though, since sound_load recreates everything. There's a patch for
review D876)
* Toggle to enable backdrop in the strip sequence editor
* Toggle to easily turn on/off waveform display
* Snapping during transform on sequence boundaries. Snapping to start or
end of selection depends on position of mouse when invoking the operator
* Snapping of timeline indicator in sequencer to strip boundaries. To
use just press and hold ctrl while dragging.

This is mainly to address old issue when one need to have SDL library installed
in order to use our official builds. Some hip distros already installs SDL,
but it's not quite the same across all the variety of the distros.
We also now switching to SDL-2.0, most of the distros have it in repositories
already, so it shouldn't be huge deal to install it if needed.

The bug was caused by using negative numbers as the end for playing forever (or until the end of the sound is reached) in the library. This was used with speaker objects which have an end of FLT_MAX now instead and the negative number interpretation was removed. I hope this doesn't break anything else.
The problem here was that animation buffers got initialized with zeros in the beginning for unknown parts. Now it gets initialized with the first known value.
The bug's result was that the animation of the pitch started with 0 on first playback and thus any seeking while the pitch is zero resulted in seeking to the beginning.
Changes for VC2013
Now, I can build Blender with VC2013 with Cycles, Collada, OpenExr,OpenImageIO disabled. Also, you need VC2008 sp1 installed to make old libs compatible.
There was a bug in how the iterators of STL list was used when erasing during iteration of a list, which was triggered by the STL implementation of MSVC, but hid well with gcc.
For details see bug comments. The problem was that blender's animation system didn't update the audio animation system anymore due to an optimization. Fixed this in a complex but proper way in the audio animation system, so that it can handle gaps of missing values.
Now sounds that stopped playing but are still kept in the device can be differentiated from paused sounds with this state.
This should also fix the performance issues mentioned in [#36466] End of SequencerEntrys not set correctly.
Please test if sound pausing, resuming and stopping works fine in the BGE and sequencer, my tests all worked fine, but there might be a use case that needs some fixing.
Added new build option WITH_JACK_DYNLOAD for CMake and
WITH_BF_JACK_DYNLOAD for SCons, which means there'll be
no build-time linking against libjack and getting symbols
from libjack will happen runtime using dlopen and dlsym
tricks.
Alternative would be to use weak linking, but it'll require
having wrapper for preloading libjack.
This new options are disabled by default and they only
intended to be used on linux. Other platforms shall not
be using this and there shall be no functional changes
on non-linux platforms at all.
