Here's what's new (in ascending chronological order):

  • increased default buffer size to one second
  • reset output driver along with input driver to reduce latency
  • made contexts refcounted (no longer need to destroy streams before contexts)
  • fixed DirectSound 3 driver so it works on NT4
  • Java bindings
  • completely rewrote DS8 and DS3 output drivers to be more efficient, have fewer audible artifacts, and reduce latency (to effectively zero)
  • fixed crasher on failed mod loads
