Avoid enumerating audio devices until absolutely necessary
Enumerating  audio  devices with  QAudioDeviceInfo::availableDevices()
takes  a  long  time  on  Linux  with  pulseaudio.  This  change  only
enumerates  up  to  the  selected device  when  configuring  and  only
enumerates the whole list when the Settings->Audio tab is current.

This change also warns  with a message box when Tx  is started with no
audio output device configured.

Only tune audio buffer sizes on Windows 2020-08-11 14:27:46 +01:00

Remove user adjustable audio buffer sizes from Settings
Fixed buffer sizes are  used. Rx use s 3456 x 1st  downsample rate x 5
audio  frames  of  buffer  space.  On Windows  this  means  that  each
chunk (periodSize())  delivered from the  audio stream is  our initial
DSP processing chunk size, thus  matching audio buffer latency exactly
with WSJT-X's  own front  end latency. This  should result  in optimal
resilience to high system loads that might starve the soundcard ADC of
buffers to fill and case dropped audio frames.

For Tx  a buffer sufficient for  1 s of  audio is used at  present, on
Windows  the period  size will  be  set to  1/40 of  that which  gives
reasonably low latency  and plenty of resilience to  high system loads
that might  starve the soundcard DAC  of audio frames to  render. Note
that a 1 s  buffer will make the "Pwr" slider slow  to respond, we may
have to reduce the Tx audio buffer size if this is seen as a problem.

Status message to report approximate # of dropped Rx audio frames
This is  a first cut  at this to  evaluate buffer size  adjustments on
supported platforms. A final version might limit status bar reports to
>1000 dropped frames or similar.

Remove default audio devices from audio configuration
This enforces  an audio input device  in the settings dialog  since we
can't do anything  without an input device. A nil  audio output device
is allowed with a warning.

User configurable audio device buffer sizes
Adjusting these may help with  audio drop-outs, particularly on slower
CPU systems or heavily loaded systems. Smaller buffer sizes leave less
margin for  process interruptions,  larger sizes waste  resources that
could impact other processes.

62f9b32758 Added playback to record_time_signal tool
The tool may be started with either '-o <file-path>' to record or with
'-i  <file-path>',  where  file-path  is an  existing  .WAV  file,  to
playback  audio. Audio  output devices  may  be listed  with the  '-O'
option  and selected  by index  number using  the '-P  <device-index>'
option. No format conversions are done for playback by the tool so the
output device  must support  the format  of the  input .WAV  file. The
playback duration is the duration of the input .WAV file.

The tool '-s <start-second-in-minute>' option is now optional, without
it recording  or playback  starts immediately. So  to playback  a .WAV
file:

    $ record_time_signal -i wwv.wav

To play back the same file stating at second 55 in the minute:

   $ record_time_signal -i wwv.wav -s 55

Use the '-h' option for more help.

3a3af42cc6 Tool to exercise QAudioInput
The tool record_time_signal is designed  to measure the performance of
QAudioInput. The  intended use  is to  record a  short period  of live
audio from  an on-air time  signal of  known good quaility,  the basic
required parameters  are an  audio input device,  an output  file name
(.WAV), a start second in a minute,  and a duration in seconds. So for
example to record  the time signal ticks  and fast data at  the top of
the minute:

    $ record_time_signal -o wwv.wav -s 55 -d 15

will record  15s of  audio at  48000Hz sample  rate, stereo,  from the
default audio  input device, starting  at second  55. This will  use a
separate timer  to stop  the recording  which is  likely to  leave the
output file a little short due  to buffer latency. The buffer size can
be adjusted using the '-b <buffered-frames>' option.

The tool  also supoorts  a different mechanism  to time  the recording
which uses the audio progress via  a notify signal. This should ensure
at least  the requested  duration is recorded  The shorter  the notify
interval  the  closer teh  final  size  shoould  be to  the  requested
duration.  Use the  '-d  <interval-ms>' option  to  adjust the  notify
interval.

    $ record_time_signal -o wwv.wav -s 55 -d 15 -n 100

Non-default audio devices can be selected, use the '-I' option to list
the available input  devices with an index number that  can be used to
select the device using the 'R <device-number>' option.

Other options are available, use '-h' for details.

4a33a696ba Enhanced error reporting for BWF (WAV) files

and problems reading or writing headers using the BWFFile::error() and
BWFFile::errorString() operations.

9301347f8a Better naming WavFile ->BWFFile
Broadcast  Wave  Format is  a  backwards  compatible superset  of  teh
Microsoft WAV file  format that has been implemented in  teh hope that
Windows File Explorer might show the WAV file metadta, as it turns out
that is not the case but as it's done anyway.

It appears to be  impossible to write a WAV file  such that MS Windows
File Explorer shows any metadata so  unless we adopt FLAC format audio
files we will have to show metadata with our own software :(
