The function fluid_player_join in the library is broken beyond compare for the
usecases it was used for (see their #872). It does not wait until it is safe
to delete the player, so it is up to the end user to ensure that.
For OpenTTD we acquire a lock before fluid_synth_write_s16 and we acquire the
same lock in the stop function. So, only one of the functions can be doing its
thing, meaning we do not need to wait for the player to be stopped as it
cannot be doing anything as we prevent that by the lock.
In FluidSynth 2.2.0 an extra state was added to denote stopping. To transition
from this state to a stopped state the rendering needs to be running. Since
04ce1f07 locking was added that skipped the rendering when something else held
a lock, so the state would never get to stopped and join would never return.
* Codechange: Use std::string in console commands and aliases registration
* Codechange: Use std::map to register console commands
* Codechange: Use std::map to register console aliases
* Cleanup: Remove now unused function
Debian now provides a default soundfont for FluidSynth via its alternatives system.
In short, FluidSynth is configured to look for `/usr/share/sounds/sf3/default-GM.sf3` as its default soundfont, and each soundfront package (FluidR3, OPL-3, MuseScore...) may provide or override this symlink. By default, FluidSynth is installed on Debian with the `TimGM6mb` soundfont by default due to its limited size.
See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=929185 for further details.
CMake works on all our supported platforms, like MSVC, Mingw, GCC,
Clang, and many more. It allows for a single way of doing things,
so no longer we need shell scripts and vbs scripts to work on all
our supported platforms.
Additionally, CMake allows to generate project files for like MSVC,
KDevelop, etc.
This heavily reduces the lines of code we need to support multiple
platforms from a project perspective.
Addtiionally, this heavily improves our detection of libraries, etc.
Variable-length values would write threshold values with a byte too many.
System Exclusive messages would cause write to fail since the end byte was treated as part of next message.
