Thanks, This update is epic
Also, I think I spotted a bugg, If you plug headphones and unplug them, Playing sounds won't work anymore, I'm not sure if this kind of stuff is expected or not but just thought to put it right here.

It's windows.

Thanx camlorn

Is there a way I can use PannedSource with stereo? I digged the manual and didn't find anything that tells if it possible, I need it for ambiences because ambiences mono would sound pretty odd.

@484
No, you can't.  Panned sources are mono only.  Stereo panned sources are an odd thing that doesn't quite make sense because everyone wants something slightly different.  If you want spatialized ambiance you need to do it by actually really creating objects.

For what it's worth, you'll find that if you rotate your stereo file 90 degrees so that one channel is in front and one channel is in back, the ambiance "collapses" into something mono anyway.  You can't actually spin audio files around without artifacts unless you're using ambisonics, which we don't support and probably won't for a while (plus, making them requires particular expertise that most don't have, and there's other issues).  As soon as you try, you'll discover that the more you rotate it the narrower it sounds.  It's kind of hard for me to explain this well, but basically think of stereo files like a pipe sticking out the sides of your head or something.  It doesn't contain any info about what's actually "in front" of you, so when "in front" becomes to the side there's nothing there and we can't guess it and it's just a big hole in the soundfield.

Miniaudio already does this, and you can ask Wasapi for it by default.  It's not a Synthizer bug and I've read the Miniaudio source before and it's definitely there.  Event detection and all that shouldn't be required unless this is a quite old version of Windows.  I haven't tried to reproduce it yet.

No, that's broken.  It'll be in the next point release, but I'm not doing it now because I'm batching all the things writing official Rust bindings is in the progress of uncovering.

yeah. To be honest I'm pretty sure that's going to end up being the case.  I've had Realtek before and it does all sorts of crap like that.  But still: I haven't tried to duplicate, so who knows at this point.  Have been putting my atypically high amount of energy into making Rust bindings instead.

@491
First, Rust.  Rust is for Ammo, which is going to push the boundaries of what anyone has done if I succeed.  It's also very popular in sighted game land, and it's not like Synthizer is supposed to be blind-person only.  Rust is fine for audiogames.  It's not like C/C++, you're not going to shoot yourself in the foot.  Ammo is World of Warcraft for the blind: if I succeed it needs to run way more than 5 maps concurrently, and being as I'm going to promote it and not do stupid stuff like fail to write tutorials and make you install old DirectX and do antivirus exceptions I think I can get peaks of 100 players, and you can have 1 player per map, and if you have 100 maps that's 100 maps you have to run.  That's a unique problem as far as audiogames go.  Maybe something like Survive the Wild has pushed that boundary or something, but I bet anyone who has is laggy.

But Rust is not a newbie-friendly language.  You're a newbie as far as I can tell.  Beyond most here, but not at the point where you can go "you know it sounds like it might be fun to make world of warcraft" and have the biggest problem be "shame I only have weekends and art is going to be hard to get".  A lot of the answers around what you should be using and what you can be productive with change once you're at the point where you can build anything and the only limit is time.  Rust isn't like any other mainstream language and it has a lot of unique stuff, but functional programming doesn't frighten me and lifetimes are easy enough and when my language says "I am opinionated, abstract how I want or else" I'm not spending several months readjusting all of my thought processes away from object oriented programming or whatever else.  Plus I have been using it at work continuously for 9 months and have contributed to their compiler so any learning curve that there was is something I got over a long time ago.

If you want to pay the Rust learning cost you can, but I don't see what it gets you.  I see what it gets me.  Maybe you will use it one day, but wait until you have projects that need it.  Unless you really truly enjoy learning technologies, there's no point learning technologies before you have a use for them.  If you were going  to do a systems language Rust is probably what you would want to do, and it's actually less crash-prone than even Python believe it or not.  But it's expensive.

Second: C#.  I'm not going to include bindings generators in CI for you.  If you want that you can run your own CI on the Synthizer repository.  GitHub actions is free.  Python has special status because I need something which is easy to test with, but nothing else is getting that privilege, even code by myself.  The new Rust bindings also live outside the repository.  In general you're supposed to run bindings generators yourself and then commit the code they generate, anyway.

Third: Synthizer is semantic versioning.  1.0 means stable.  If I break things we bump to 2.0 and so on.  I'm not promising no more breaking API changes after 1.0.  I'm only saying that the goal is to try to not have breaking changes between now and 1.0.  There are lots of things I want to add which I'll be doing as I or someone else needs them, but the current goal is to get a stable, non-beta release.

@493
Frankly, global variables are something that only new programmers use for the most part.  There are ways to make up for the very few legitimate reasons to use them in Rust, but the only reason that audiogames have a lot of global variables is because all of the people doing them are inexperienced.  Outside of these circles, it is universally recognized that global variables are a bad idea, and they do not factor into language choice.

hy there!
@492: OK then, if it's for your future project thingi, then meh, I see where performance is necessary considering the scale of the thing you're trying to build. Tbh, besides you and probably ethin, I don't see anyone in this community being able to pull it off, unless there's a massive collaboration between all the members of this forum to make something like that, something certainly unpresidented and not likely to happen for a very long time, if ever.
yes, you are definitely right when saying I'm basically a newbie, I certainly have a lot to learn before I can get a decent enough job. Thing is, I'm still at that faze where I want to learn technologies and languages just because it's fun, because I want to be forced to think outside the box of what I learned before, even though I think in an abstract way about the job certainly, but not as much as the fun of it, the brain exercise so to speak.
However, the gotcha with this is that I'm still unsure of what I want to do professionally. I mean, I find syber security related work interesting, however I still find a lot of many unrelated things and frameworks and whatnot interesting and, therefore, am trying to learn them. It's not that I'm failing at it, or I don't think so anyways, however I think I need to learn some specific thing and focuse on it, this I know a bit of everything is not gonna help me if I don't know something very well.
About global variables, I stopped using them within around 6 months of coding, I just felt they are making my code cluttered, I didn't know then about harder to maintain, and was wandering if it could be done another way. Interestingly enough, once I came across some of the concepts of oop to the most basic level, I didn't find them hard at all, actually felt almost like that's the only way and the golden way to write code ever invented since the first cpu and all that.
So yeah, I want to learn rust at, maybe only to an intermediate level, you guessed it, kinda just because I like learning languages and technology, always see interesting potential in them, like the newly gaining in popularity flutter with dart as it's language of choice.

Hi all. So i am not sure on weither i am using synthizer the right way, but this is for a menu class. If i put the normal file path to the background music file, it plays in the menu. How ever as soon as I want to use this code it tells me "resource not found."
import synthizer

class menu:
    def __init__(self):
        self.options=[]
        self.music=""
        self.gen=synthizer.BufferGenerator(globals.ctx)
        self.buf=synthizer.Buffer.from_file(self.music)
        self.gen.buffer=self.buf
        self.src=synthizer.DirectSource(globals.ctx)
        self.src.add_generator(self.gen)
Can any one please help me?
