Creates a new BasicSettings class in common/settings, and forces setting
a default and label for each setting that uses it in common/settings.
Moves defaults and labels from both frontends into common settings.
Creates a helper function in each frontend to facillitate reading the
settings now with the new default and label properties.
Settings::Setting is also now a subclass of Settings::BasicSetting. Also
adds documentation for both Setting and BasicSetting.
Currently, processing of audio samples is called from AudioRenderer's Update method, using a fixed 4 buffers to process the given samples. Games call Update at variable rates, depending on framerate and/or sample count, which causes inconsistency in audio processing. From what I've seen, 60 FPS games update every ~0.004s, but 30 FPS/160 sample games update somewhere between 0.02 and 0.04, 5-10x slower. Not enough samples get fed to the backend, leading to a lot of audio skipping.
This PR seeks to address this by de-coupling the audio consumption and the audio update. Update remains the same without calling for buffer queuing, and the consume now schedules itself to run based on the sample rate and count.
Preliminary work for upmixing & general cleanup. Fixes basic issues in games such as Shovel Knight and slightly improves the LEGO games. Upmixing stitll needs to be implemented.
Audio levels in a few games will be fixed as we now use the downmix coefficients when possible instead of supplying our own
While were at it, we can also enable sign conversion warnings and other
common warnings as errors to prevent these from creeping back into the
codebase.
In a lot of cases, we can make use of const references rather than
non-const references.
While we're in the area we can silence some truncation and sign
conversion warnings.
Makes the interface future-proofed for supporting other platforms in the event we ever support platforms with differing pointer sizes. This way, we have a type in place that is always guaranteed to be able to represent a pointer exactly.
