samples. Increased CD sectors per hunk to 8 for better compression.

Re-did the non-CD FLAC codec to be "smart" in that it can choose
either big-endian or little-endian on the fly and uses the best one.
Added FLAC as a default codec for hard disks, which helps a lot for
certain disks. [Aaron Giles]
which mixes all its inputs to a single output stream. Redefined the
SPEAKER device to use this and remove the duplicate underlying logic.
The main purpose of this new interface is to allow device-ification of
an entire sound board, which can itself become a mixer of all of its
sound components to a single output stream. This stream can then be
routed by the device's owner to the appropriate speakers. A real-life
example will show up soon.
[N64] Miscellaneous machine fixes, gets Conker's Bad Fur Day to boot through its legal screens with interpreter MIPS. [Ryan Holtz]
- Increase the amount of time consumed by PI DMA, makes certain RSP microcodes that test DMA speed land in the correct window.
- Force the main CPU to yield when the RSP reads its atomic semaphore.
- Force the RSP to yield when PI DMA completes.
- Flush the RSP DRC cache when touching IMEM with SP DMA.
- enforced short names for slot card devices
- updated validation, romverify and listxml output accordingly
- slotoptions now also contain shortnames so it's possible to link
slot option and device

Mann, oh-Mann [Roberto Fresca, Team Europe]
- appended to xml info about devices which can be optionally mounted to slots
- added a description attribute to slotoption to show which devices can be mounted
in each slot
- added to xml info of cpus/inputs/image/slots which are relative to devices (e.g. CPUs
or Dipswitches in the device itself)
- tags of elements directly attached to the root_device do not display anymore the
root colon (slot tags were already behaving in this way); elements attached to optional
devices use tags starting with colon (to be interpreted as a relative tags which gets
appended to the device tag, when such a device is selected in a slot)
- modified when necessary output routines to pass a root_device and a root_tag as
parameters, in order to simplify output of relative devices and avoid duplicated code
- updated DTD according to the new elements and attributes
These changes allow frontends to know in advance how drivers can be configured
through the various slot options (by matching option descriptions with device
descriptions), without the need to run -lx with the various slot combinations. This is
especially of use if a device adds e.g. dipswitches or image devices (like additional
floppy drives or additional slot expansions), but also if one wants to know e.g. how many
sound channels a soundcard would add to a pc driver, or which kind of screen parameters
would be added by a specific choice of video card.
