Add option to fade out and in sound #105

Closed ecp4224 closed 10 years ago

There should be an option to fade in and out sounds/music

The API should be something like this:

Sound.fadeOut("music1"); //Start fading out music1
Sound.fadeIn("music1"); //Start fading in music1

An optional API is the ability to do the following:

Sound.crossfadeFrom("music1").to("music2");

What the above will do is fade out music1 and fade in music2 at the same time to create a cross fade effect. This can be done by having fadeFrom start fading out music1 and return an object that has a to method in it, where the to method will fade in the sound provided. The object returned SHOULD NOT be a Sound object, because then the following would be possible

Sound sound = Sound.play("music2");
sound.to("music1");

Which doesn't really make any sense...

Can slowly decrease/increase volume with AL_GAIN to get this effect. Could we do something like 

Sound.crossfade("fromSound", "toSound");

to avoid returning an object just so we can call a .to("sound");

Ya sure, that's probably the easiest and most practical way to go about it.
