15ms latency is too little most of the time, but if the stars align (light game,
fast system, the correct audio output module - portaudio comes to mind), it
might work well/reasonably, so allow it.
Watch the console for stretcher related messages. If you hear bad audio (clicks
etc) or notice reset/underruns messages, it means the latency is too low. The
optimal behavior (stretching is locked to 1:1) is when a message "stretch: None (1:1)"
shows at the console, which isn't followed by a message "stretch: Dynamic" or
resets or spu2 underruns.
I'm pretty sure such low latency with good performance (mostly locked to 1:1)
was not possible in the past, but it seems possible (sometimes) now. Maybe the
previous "black magic" commit helps
The default is still 100ms which is still fine for most cases.
This commit affects Windows. Linux still has a different minimum, probably
mostly due to UI/constants. Maybe someone should test and change that too.
I don't have a fully scientific explanation here, but it seems that with big
buffers (~200ms and up), the stretcher adjustment can overshoot the target
equilibrium back and forth, in effect never stabilizing.
This commit makes it change slightly slower which somehow seems to improve its
behavior. Sorry for not having a better explanation, as at this stage tuning the
stretcher has become somewhat of a black magic.
But hey, if it works...
Tested with buffers from 30ms to 1000ms, and with playback speed and speed
changes between 30% and 500%, and as far as I can tell it only makes it better.
Fingers crossed.
Previously the sound touch configure caption box will still have the outdated value of the sliders when using the restore defaults function, update the caption text also during restore defaults. ( use the first slider value for caption since that lies closer to the restore default box )
Note: SDL_Init is mandatory oterwise SDL_OpenAudio will redo the init.
So the only sane way is to initialize pulseaudio, close everything, and finally
init the requested driver.
V2:
* ifdef SDL2 code
V3:
* use std::string for m_api (avoid issue issue with wx2.8)
* call the good function to properly close subsystem avoid crashes
The purpose is to workaround bug with default API
Code is not ideal because SDL/gui are mixed. But it would be enough
for future release.

CID 147033 (#1 of 1): Uninitialized pointer field (UNINIT_CTOR)16. uninit_member: Non-static class member ActualPaCallback is not initialized in this constructor nor in any functions that it calls.
* the break doesn't get used since HANDLE_CHECK consists of a break on the function itself.
* removed an outdated comment since realtime update of configure has been done.
previously the soundtouch configure box required a total exit of the dialog to get the configure box value updated , now it's made to be done in an instant.
CID 147046 (#1 of 1): Useless call (USELESS_CALL)
side_effect_free: Calling ApplyVolume(Ext, Cores[1].ExtVol) is only useful for its return value, which is ignored.
It claimed to be 1.7.1 but it had a mixture from various
versions. It was hard to update as everything in the top directory
so I used upstream's way to organize files. I renamed include to
soundtouch since I did not want to #ifdef that for windows.
.
Wavfile.h is a private header so I used the private path instead of
moving the file over. This changed 3 files in the plugin folder.
builds an Utilies_NO_TLS.a archive of the common Utilities code. It replaces native TLS by a slower reimplementation
Rational: number of TLS slot is very limited by the GLIBc on linux. I hope it doesn't impact performance.
* Zzogl don't requires TLS AFAIK
* spu2x will likely use it for assertions only.
TLS exhaustion creates issue to dlopen plugins

WinXP should be exempted from Portaudio as the default for now.
It has a large latency with DirectSound compared to direct use and XA2 isn't available at all.

The preferred audio output module is PortAudio, so making it the default under Windows now (it is already on Linux).
It will use wasapi mode with the default sound device by default, both are configurable though.
This setup gives us better latency and a higher time stretch polling frequency, resulting in better quality overall.
With this we can also lower the main latency default from 150ms to now 100ms.
There is no error checking for the wasapi mode selection yet, as I don't know how this should be done.
Help would be appreciated (gigaherz!) :p

Removed some missing headers from the vs2010 and vs2012 project files that were causing vs to always claim the projects were out of date.
Also removed some other entries for c/cpp files that were disabled but also missing (I did not search exhaustively).

* drop GLSL_SHADER_DIR. Useless, shaders are embedded in .h file

* improve detection of button vs axis (long-standing issue)
* avoid potential overflow on mouse mouvement detection

Next commit will include some cleanups, and I'll probably also remove the dynamic-tunning and related support code (not a lot of code though, but.. it's currently unused). I'm also considering completely removing the old stretcher from the code, such that both dynamic-tunning and the old stretcher will only live in SVN history.
Meanwhile, you can test this patch and report back here if you notice a difference. BTW, on my system I use the portaudio output since IIRC it offers the lowest latency.
As before, to display stretcher messages at the console, enable underrun/overrun messages at the SPU2X debug UI (which is also available on normal builds).

Performance note, it might be faster to replace the MODULO with an AND. Not sure on the impact
for the new time stretcher algo.
GSdx: fixed use-after-free (linux)
PCSX2:
* add a define to support address sanitizer (both rely on 0x20000000-0x3fffffff memory ranges..)
* sio_buffer out of bond (-1). Maybe we can move the flush in the 2 if previous branch. It would
avoid the extra test.
* wxGetEnv (linux) generates double free (maybe not thread safe). Cache the result so it doesn't crash
anymore when switching renderer
