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.
Derivatives of Core::Object should be constructed through
ClassName::construct(), to avoid handling ref-counted objects with
refcount zero. Fixing the visibility means that misuses like this are
more difficult.
This commit is separate from the other Servives changes because it
required additional adaption of the code. Note that the old code did
precisely what these changes try to prevent: Create and handle a
ref-counted object with a refcount of zero.
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 enables support for automatically generating client methods.
With this added the user gets code completion support for all
IPC methods which are available on a connection object.
