... whenever they really describe the size of a buffer that fits in memory, or
of a block file (which is never now more than a megabyte and so could be fit in
memory all at once), or a part thereof.
... with run-time assertions.
I examined each place and reasoned that the narrowing was safe, and commented
why so.
Again, there are places where the sampleCount variable will later be changed
to have a different type, and they are not changed here.
... A non-narrowing conversion out to long long is a necessity, but the
conversions to float and double are simply conveniences.
Conversion from floating is explicit, to avoid unintended consequences with
arithmetic operators, when later sampleCount ceases to be an alias for an
integral type.
Some conversions are not made explicit, where I expect to change the type of
the variable later to have mere size_t width.
... Define lots of operators for disambiguation, but they will go away after
all conversions from sampleCount to built-in numerical types are forced
to be explicit.
... And in some places where a library uses signed types, assert that
the reported number is not negative.
What led me to this, is that there are many places where a size_t value for
an allocation is the product of a number of channels and some other number.
... This makes much code agnostic about how other things (functions and
arguments) are typed.
Many of these neeed to become size_t instead of sampleCount.
Fix by Uwe and Carsten of DirectSound issue (only). We can't interrogate for formats, so we use userData to tell PortAudio what the format should be. I have a 16 bit built in sound device and that continues to function correctly at 16 bit with 24 bit requested. Unable to test on a 24 bit device.
... Start scrub by click or double click on the scrub head; release button or
not; then move.
If you release before moving, you get scrubbing as before, controlled by
motion. Click or drag to switch in and out of seeking. Stop with ESC,
spacebar, etc. No change of selection.
But now if you drag, then scrubbing contines until you release the mouse or
otherwise stop with a key.
If by release of the mouse, then the selection changes as if by a click at
the last play position. If you hold shift, then, as if by shift-click.
If drag begins with a double-click, then the play head remains centered and
the track moves.
