The OPL2LPT is an OPL2 chip plugged on a parallel port. It is
write-only but otherwise acts as a classic AdLib. This commit adds
support for this device.
User is expected to have the right permissions on the parallel
port. By default, the first suitable parallel port is used. It is
possible to override that with the hidden configuration setting
"opl2lpt_parport".
It depends on the presence of the libieee1284 library which abstracts
a bit parallel port handling. An alternative would be to access
directly /dev/parportX on Linux. This would amount of code but it
would be Linux-only.
Tested with Indy 3 and SOMI.
- remove Miles Audio from Sherlock engine
- put Miles Audio into common audio (namespace Audio)
- Miles Audio is used at least by the engines
TINSEL, GROOVIE, TOLTECS, SAGA and KYRA
This way it can be used by the other engines
- queue up to 0.5 seconds of audio to avoid buffer underruns
- support for SDX2 codec
- put both audio codecs into audio/decoders/3do.cpp
- made movie player capable of playing EA logo movie
Based on the SONiVOX® Embedded Audio Synthesis (EAS™) library, which is
part of the base Android OS.
CPU stats (Cortex A8 1GHz, monkey1 intro, peak values):
MAME OPL: 30%
DosBox OPL: 26%
EAS: 19%
This code is currently not complete, but contains enough code to
allow several engines to switch their pseudo MidiDrivers to be
based on this class, greatly reducing code duplication.
