The 'muted' methods referred to the 'main mix muted' but it wasn't
really clear from the name. This change will be useful because in the
next commit, a 'self muted' state will be added to each audio client
connection.
Executing `asctl set r 96000` no longer results in weird sample rates
being set on the audio devices. SB16 checks for a sample rate between 1
and 44100 Hz, while AC97 implements double-rate support which allows
sample rates between 8kHz and 96kHZ.
Across the entire audio system, audio now works in 0-1 terms instead of
0-100 as before. Therefore, volume is now a double instead of an int.
The master volume of the AudioServer changes smoothly through a
FadingProperty, preventing clicks. Finally, volume computations are done
with logarithmic scaling, which is more natural for the human ear.
Note that this could be 4-5 different commits, but as they change each
other's code all the time, it makes no sense to split them up.
This patch removes the IPC endpoint numbers that needed to be specified
in the IPC files. Since the string hash is a (hopefully) collision free
number that depends on the name of the endpoint, we now use that
instead. :^)
Additionally, endpoint magic is now treated as a u32, because endpoint
numbers were never negative anyway.
For cases where the endpoint number does have to be hardcoded (a current
case is LookupServer because the endpoint number must be known in LibC),
the syntax has been made more explicit to avoid confusing those
unfamiliar. To hardcode the endpoint magic, the following syntax is now
used:
endpoint EndpointName [magic=1234]
