This allows us to sync the position to the entity immediately, rather
than the sound jumping about.
Someone has set up rick-rolling pocket computers (<3 to whoever did
this), and the lag on them irritates me enough to fix this.
Fixes#1074
While Minecraft will automatically push a new buffer when one is
exhausted, this doesn't help if there's only a single buffer in the
queue, and you end up with stutter.
By enquing a buffer when receiving sound we ensure there's always
something queued. I'm not 100% happy with this solution, but it does
alleviate some of the concerns in #993.
Also reduce the size of the client buffer to 0.5s from 1.5s. This is
still enough to ensure seamless audio when the server is running slow (I
tested at 13 tps, but should be able to go much worse).
Speakers can now play arbitrary PCM audio, sampled at 48kHz and with a
resolution of 8 bits. Programs can build up buffers of audio locally,
play it using `speaker.playAudio`, where it is encoded to DFPWM, sent
across the network, decoded, and played on the client.
`speaker.playAudio` may return false when a chunk of audio has been
submitted but not yet sent to the client. In this case, the program
should wait for a speaker_audio_empty event and try again, repeating
until it works.
While the API is a little odd, this gives us fantastic flexibility (we
can play arbitrary streams of audio) while still being resilient in the
presence of server lag (either TPS or on the computer thread).
Some other notes:
- There is a significant buffer on both the client and server, which
means that sound take several seconds to finish after playing has
started. One can force it to be stopped playing with the new
`speaker.stop` call.
- This also adds a `cc.audio.dfpwm` module, which allows encoding and
decoding DFPWM1a audio files.
- I spent so long writing the documentation for this. Who knows if it'll
be helpful!
