Separated 3D7.1 into its own speaker configuration.
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
resume from where they left off.
|
|
|
|
Lowered the priority of the JACK backend. To avoid it getting picked when
|
|
PipeWire is providing JACK compatibility, since the JACK backend is less

|
Modified the UHJ encoder to use an all-pass FIR filter that's less harmful
|
|
to non-filtered signal phase.

|
Removed the QSA backend. It's been broken for who knows how long.
|
|
|
|
Got rid of the compile-time native-tools targets, using cmake and global
|

HRTF data sets specified in the hrtf_tables config option may now be
|
|
relative or absolute filenames.

|
Made the default HRTF data set an external file, and added a data set for
|
|
48khz playback in addition to 44.1khz.
|
|

|
Added support for C11 atomic methods.

openal-soft-1.15.1:
|
|
|
|
Fixed a regression with retrieving the source's AL_GAIN property.
|
|
|
|
openal-soft-1.15:
|
|
|
|
Fixed device enumeration with the OSS backend.
|
|
|
|
Reorganized internal mixing logic, so unneeded steps can potentially be
|
|
skipped for better performance.
|
|
|
|
Removed the lookup table for calculating the mixing pans. The panning is
|
|
now calculated directly for better precision.
|
|
|
|
Improved the panning of stereo source channels when using stereo output.
|

|
|
Improved source filter quality on send paths.

Added support for the new AL_SOFT_source_latency extension.

Improved ALSA capture by avoiding an extra buffer when using sizes
|
|
supported by the underlying device.
|
|
|
|
Improved the makehrtf utility to support new options and input formats.
|

Modified the CFLAGS declared in the pkg-config file so the "AL/" portion of
|

|
|
|
|
Added a couple example code programs to show how to apply reverb, and
|
|
retrieve latency.
|

|
|
The configuration sample is now installed into the share/openal/ directory
