The Return to Zork installer has an option to turn off the digital music during
the introduction and play MIDI music instead. ScummVM would always play the
digital music. This commit adds the installer option to the launcher GUI.
The MIDI music on external softsynths and devices would keep playing while the
engine was paused. This commit fixes this by implementing the
Engine::pauseEngineIntern method to pause the MIDI music when the engine is
paused.
This rewrites the MADE music player to remove the use of the MidiPlayer. This
fixes the following issues in Return to Zork:
- User music volume control did not work for AdLib.
- MIDI channels were remapped; sometimes channels were missing (f.e. at the
lighthouse exterior).
- Some music tracks did not play because the current track had to be stopped
before playing a new track (f.e. the music over the credits after the intro).
- MIDI played at half volume and volume control would reset when a new track
started playing.
- "Native MT-32" flag was not checked, so the Miles driver was not used for
hardware MT-32.
- MT-32 to GM instrument mapping did not work.
- Roland GS mode now works.
The engine used the plain sound type for sampled sound effects and movie audio
and applied the SFX user volume control to the plain sound type. This caused
emulators like the AdLib emulator and Munt to be affected by the SFX user
volume control, because they use the plain sound type. This commit fixes this
by using the SFX sound type instead of the plain sound type. User volume is
applied by Engine::syncSoundSettings.
This commit also fixes the setSoundVolume script function. Volume was
previously applied to the SFX and speech sound types, which were not used.
Also, by directly using Mixer::setVolumeForSoundType, it would override the
user volume setting. This is fixed by storing the game sound volume in a field
and applying this to the current and future audio streams. This fixes bug
#6444.
This flag is removed for a few reasons:
* Engines universally set this flag to true for widths > 320,
which made it redundant everywhere;
* This flag functioned primarily as a "force 1x scaler" flag,
since its behaviour was almost completely undocumented and users
would need to figure out that they'd need an explicit non-default
scaler set to get a scaler to operate at widths > 320;
* (Most importantly) engines should not be in the business of
deciding how the backend may choose to render its virtual screen.
The choice of rendering behaviour belongs to the user, and the
backend, in that order.
A nearby future commit restores the default1x scaler behaviour in
the SDL backend code for the moment, but in the future it is my
hope that there will be a better configuration UI to allow users
to specify how they want scaling to work for high resolutions.
Engines should only have to call one set of functions and not decide between the two. In fact, the 'emulation' API was documented to just call the 'real CD' API.
This fixes MT-32 emulator initialization. When the constructor is run the
paths like extrapath etc. are not yet set up. Thus, the MT-32 emulator would
not be able to find the necessary roms in case they are in the extrapath.
This also removes the dependency of engines on the event recorder header
and API, and will make it easier to RandomSources that are not properly
registered.
The regression affected AGOS and maybe some others; specifically,
the real MidiDriver would have been deleted twice -- I previously
missed that the Engine instances takes care of freeing the real
MidiDriver, not the MidiPlayer wrapping it.
This commit should clarify the ownership of the real MidiDriver for
most pseudo MidiDrivers.
This commit contains the AudioCDManager changes from the gsoc2010-opengl
branch. The other changes in that branch are restricted to the backends
directory only (plus configure).
The Nintendo DS and Dreamcast ports still need to be ported over to
the new Audio CD system, but that should be fairly easy to do.

This includes an rather hacky attempt to merge all the recent gp2x backend
changes into the branch. I suppose the gp2x backend and probably all new
backends, i.e. gph, dingux etc., might not compile anymore.
Since I have no way of testing those it would be nice if porters could look
into getting those up to speed in this branch.

This is currently done in the engine code. I adapted AGI, AGOS, DRACI,
GROOVIE, LURE, MADE, QUEEN, SAGA, SKY, TINSEL and TOUCHE to send a reset
device on startup. The sound output still works fine (started up a game
from every engine), so this should hopefully not introduce any regressions.
As far as I can tell it seems that SCUMM does send a proper device reset, so
I did not touch it. KYRA only sends a proper reset for MT-32 currently. I am
not sure about SCI though.
This fixes bug #3066826 "SIMON: MIDI notes off when using RTL after SCI".

- Removed AudioCDManager Singleton, and changed code for using AudioCDManager in OSystem.
- Added initialization code for new AudioCDManager in BaseBackend and OSystem_SDL.

These functions are only used internally be Engine subclasses, and
by moving them to a separate header we can reduce indirect header
dependencies.
