Add "floppy disk sound" support through the standard audio output? (mix with sound) #136

Hi.

I miss a lot in minimig the floppy disk sound while loading from ADF files.

I'm used to it in the real Amiga (I even added a buzzer to my Gotek) and in emulation because it provides you with info about when the game is still loading or if the system crashed because the floppy stops reading, etc. And, to be honest, I like it the same way I like the ZX Spectrum loading sound :)

Without using external hardware (buzzer), I'm not sure if the floppy sound could be mixed with the standard audio out...

Is it possible to add that feature into this core?

Thanks!

It's possible. As additional audio source it will lower original Amiga audio by 3db (2x). Can be implemented as an option if some one is wiling to do it.

Thanks for your reply. Let's hope somebody reading this is interested in doing it...

Btw, MiSTer has FDD/HDD leds, so should give a hint if disk access is happening.
