UI: Enhancing sound options menu

[kai-li-wop]

Since the VoIP options have now all been transferred to the network options (see #143), there is now more space in the sound options to put other useful things there.

ToDo:

• [x] Add auto mute option to enable the user to automatically mute the sound of the game when window loses focus or being minimized.
• [x] Add doppler effect option (radio button)
• [x] Set doppler speed to new ioq3 default value 9000 --> 13512
• [x] Sound options depending on OpenAL or SDL should be visible or hidden related to the selected sound system. Hide all OpenAL option when SDL is selected and vice versa.
• [x] Add option to select the sound output device directly in the sound menu so people can choose their preferred output device (spin control)
• [x] Add option to select the sound input device directly in the sound menu so people can choose their preferred input device (spin control)
• [x] Add code extensions to SDL and UI to list audio input/output devices
• [x] Add precache option (radio button) to OpenAL sound options
• [x] Add sources option (spin control) to OpenAL sound options
• [x] Handle input of negative values by using sliders which can happen when first using mouse and second keyboard. Set slider scale from 10 to 100.
• [x] Unify function names
• [x] Add useful tool tips to all option on the menu page
• [x] Fix: Input device list showing output devices when changing from OpenAL to SDL sound backend
• [x] Fix: Check and show a warning if WoP failed to load OpenAL: if s_backend = base and s_useOpenAL = 1 it must have failed to load! To test this rename OpenAL32.dll in wop root to OpenAL32.dll.old and make sure you don't have OpenAL installed extra,
• [x] Fix: Sources Allocation selection closing the sound menu

@mgerhardy: When changing from OpenAL to SDL the input device list shows input AND output devices after sound engine restart. After changing back from SDL to OpenAL input device list only shows input devices like expected.

@mgerhardy: I experienced another issue. When having OpenAL not available for some reason and it failed to load, the menu still shows OpenAL and no device is shown, so the device selection is useless. If OpenAL failed to load as default selection on UI start, I think we need to check first which sound backend was loaded and then to provide the correct selection to what was loaded or to set it back to SDL. "s_backend" might be helpful, it is read only and offers "base" or "openal" as values. I am not sure what would be a good solution here, maybe this: if s_backend = base and s_useOpenAL = 1 it must have failed to load!

While testing the new menu i had no issues using OpenAL. I was able to change devices and settings. Everything just worked. Nice that OpenAL sounds quite a lot better out of the box!

With SDL however.. There were some big issues.

I wanted to try the changes made to the ingame viop in #143 and i could not change my devices without crashing the whole game. In my case it was the Input device i wanted to change.

I'll provide a crashlog at a later hour , probably tomorrow. (if im getting any, that is.)

[kai-li-wop]

Oh, this is interesting. I have only one input device on my desktop computer, so I never tired to change the input device in SDL. I will test this too on my laptop, where I have a built-in capturing device.

Ok, this issue seems to be fixed in the future outside of World of Padman directly in SDL 2.0.24 and then can be solved by subsequent integration once it is released. Closing this issue because it is not directly related to the sound options menu, which seems to work flawless.

[mgerhardy]

I am not sure yet. As the original issue was on windows. Pulseaudio is linux only… let’s see…
