[vlc-devel] [PATCH] audio_filter: SOFAlizer new module

Thank you very much, Rémi and Jean-Baptiste. I appreciate your detailed comments!
I am currently working on improving the code based on your suggestions and will repost the patch once I'm finished for further review.

For now, I have a couple of follow-up questions and explanations:

-> Is it recommended to strictly wrap all lines to 80 characters?

I will do my best!
One important trick of the module is, that the same function/code for convolution (the actual audio processing) is used for both left and right channel. This is done in two threads, as this nearly double performance.
To be able to use the convolution function with threads, its required variables are condensed into one struct for left and right channel, respectively. This explains why there are so many similar variables, which look like duplicates.
Question: -> Is it somehow possible to call a function using threads without condensing all variables passed to the function into one struct? This could simplify the code a lot.

netCDF is used as a numerical container for the SOFA file format, so it is needed to load the SOFA files containing the HRTF data. SOFA is currently being established as the international standard format for storing HRTFs and other directional audio data.

-> I thought it's better than having the same magic number occurring at multiple places in the code. What should I do instead?

-> I need one for each GUI element. Is that too much…?

I removed the longtext of the gain parameter (because it is self-explanatory), but with the other parameters, providing more detailed explanation to the user in the advanced settings via longtext makes sense to me.

-> The users might have to compare different SOFA files to see which of them fits them best. It is necessary that this can be done with almost zero interruption (because accurate aural impressions “vanish” very quickly). I guess this could not be achieved using a callback, could it?

Actually, the length of p_sys->sofa is the number of loaded SOFA files, which is 3. The index i_i_sofa basically is a loop variable which goes from 0 to 2 (less than this hardcoded 3).

I don't think it is undefined. The length of p_pos_temp corresponds exactly to i_n_conv in each case. Therefore we copy the right number of floats with memcpy.

-> As mentioned above, computing left and right channel simultaneously reduced computation time to almost a half. Anything else wrong here?

Thanks a lot for your help!
Best regards,
Wolfgang
