Description
Miniaudio now runs everything in a separate audio thread - this uses
boost::asio
'sio_context
.Our miniaudio implementation is now also much simplified - it does not use its own resource manager or device. This might end up being stupid if sounds don't work after changing output device or locking or w/e
I've made the sound controller into an interface, meaning we can support multiple sound backends in Chatterino. I've added a Null sound backend that disables all sound. A QMediaPlayer or QSoundEffect or Qt backend could be added.
Miniaudio might idle & disable the device now too, not sure
I've added some unrelated changes in the form of a new setting type, and a new setting page helper function for it, which will hopefully make adding new enum settings easier in the future.
This setting stores its value as a string instead of an int, and uses magic_enum to convert between that string value and its enum value.
