- DRY-ups
- Remove incorrect optimization attempt in the libvorbis decoder,
that skewed 0.0 samples non-linear
- PortAudio and SDL backends do not support S24 output. The PortAudio
bindings could, but not through this API.
- Store and output samples as 32-bit floats instead of 16-bit integers.
This provides 24-25 bits of transparency, allowing for 42-48 dB of
headroom to do volume control and normalisation without throwing
away bits or dropping dynamic range below 96 dB CD quality.
- Perform volume control and normalisation in 64-bit arithmetic.
- Add a dynamic limiter with configurable threshold, attack time,
release or decay time, and steepness for the sigmoid transfer
function. This mimics the native Spotify limiter, offering greater
dynamic range than the old limiter, that just reduced overall gain
to prevent clipping.
- Make the configurable threshold also apply to the old limiter, which
is still available.
