the next big steps

I finally got sound working on the new comp and have tested out the new sound system. Here's what I get when I run vdrift -test:

Code:

Performance testing Sample16bit (87ms for 1 second of 44.1khz stereo audio with 32 sources): 1/1 = 100% PASS
Performance testing SampleAndAdvance16bit (62ms for 1 second of 44.1khz stereo audio with 32 sources): 1/1 = 100% PASS
Performance testing SampleAndAdvanceWithPitch16bit (118ms for 1 second of 44.1khz stereo audio with 32 sources): 1/1 = 100% PASS
Performance testing SampleAndAdvanceWithPitch16bit with 1st order filter (173ms for 1 second of 44.1khz stereo audio with 32 sources): 1/1 = 100% PASS
Sound effects testing: 3/3 = 100% PASS
Sound filter testing: 1/2 = 50% FAIL
Sound management testing: 6/6 = 100% PASS
Sound source testing: 3/3 = 100% PASS
Wave loading 44k s16 c2: 5/5 = 100% PASS

During gameplay I noticed that the sound was sometimes a little crackly. It would happen sometimes, then go away, then come back...at times it went away slowly, other times quickly...it didn't seem to happen in relation to any other event.

Other than that though, the pitch-shifting is much smoother sounding than with OpenAL; it doesn't sound like it's being played from an old dusty record anymore.
