An ambience change read and decoded the whole bed on the main thread, about 40 ms a swap. 1.12.1 opens the bed as a looping FMOD stream that reads the archive through its file callbacks (`0x460b54` → `0x7a54d0`, `FSOUND_Stream_Open` at `0x7a5525`). Now: - MPQ files open for in-place reads, one sector at a time. - The bed streams from the archive, opened on the IO pool. A newer swap drops an open still in flight. - kira moves to 0.12.4 on symphonia 0.6. 0.5 sized PCM frames from `nBlockAlign`, which 98 stereo WAVs store as 2, so a streamed bed fell silent halfway. - A fork patch stops a stream at its last packet instead of spinning. - A sector that inflates short is refused. Tests cover a bed's true length, a seamless loop, an off-thread open, the stop at the last packet and the refusal.

benilla's kira fork — what differs from upstream, and how to check
Upstream: tesselode/kira, MIT OR Apache-2.0, version
0.12.4 — the version the workspace lock resolves to. Wired in through [patch.crates-io] in
the workspace root, the way lua-src is. The crate is copied from the cargo registry as
published (src/, Cargo.toml, README.md) plus the two licence files from the repository;
upstream files are CRLF and are left so, except the two files patched, which are LF.
0.12.4 is the first kira on symphonia 0.6, whose WAV reader sizes a PCM frame from the channels
and sample width. 0.5 took it from the header's nBlockAlign, which 98 of the install's stereo
WAVs store as 2, a mono frame, so it counted them at twice their length and a looping stream of
one fell silent at the real end. 0.6's MP3 decoder also matches mpg123 within 6e-6 on 199 of the
install's 200 MP3s and 1.4e-3 on the last, where 0.5's is off by more than 0.01, up to 0.15 of
full scale, in some frames of 63; 0.6 ends 83 of them one silent MPEG frame (1152 samples)
sooner than both.
0.12.5 differs from 0.12.4 only in taking rtrb 0.4, which benilla-app shares with kira.
Why a fork exists at all
The mixer runs on benilla's own audio render thread (sound/output), and with a raid buffing
itself — a dozen live voices, most of them spatial — that thread cost ~1.5 ms of every 60 Hz
frame on an M2 Air (a sampled profile with a dozen spatial voices playing, Track::process
two thirds of it). Upstream's sub-track process spatializes every
frame: two vector normalizes, a length, the attenuation curve and a dB→amplitude powf per
frame per spatial track, then two more powfs per frame for the volume tween and the fade. At
48 kHz × 12 tracks that is ~1.7 M powfs a second plus the vector math, for gains that change
imperceptibly across a 10 ms chunk. FMOD 3 — the mixer the real client delegates to — updates
pan and attenuation per mixer update, not per sample.
Patch 1 — src/track/sub.rs
Track::process evaluates the spatial gains (attenuation, left/right ear gain, the mono fold)
and the volume × fade amplitude at the chunk's two ends and interpolates them linearly across
the chunk. SpatialData::spatial_gains is spatialize factored into a value; spatialize
itself is kept, unused, so the factoring can be diffed against it. A chunk is the output
device's buffer — 512 frames, ~10.7 ms, sound/output::DEVICE_BUFFER_FRAMES.
What changes audibly: nothing a listener can name. A source crossing an ear's axis within one chunk pans linearly in gain over 10 ms instead of following the dot product per sample; a volume tween ramps linearly in amplitude across each chunk instead of in decibels. Both are below the granularity the reference itself updates at.
Patch 2 — src/sound/streaming/decoder/symphonia.rs
SymphoniaDecoder::decode returns an error at the end of the packets, as 0.12.1 did on
symphonia 0.5, where 0.12.4 returns an empty chunk. DecodeScheduler::frame_at_index decodes
until it holds the frame asked for, so when a stream's reported length runs past its last packet
it loops on empty chunks forever: the sound never ends and its decode thread spins until the
process exits, even after the sound is stopped. symphonia 0.6 estimates the length of an MP3
without a Xing header from its first frames, and over-counts one of the install's tracks,
ZulGurubVooDoo.mp3, by one frame. With the error the sound stops where its packets end.
How to check
For each patched file, diff -u <(sed 's/\r$//' <registry>/kira-0.12.4/<file>) third_party/kira/<file> shows the patch and nothing else; every other file is byte-identical to
the registry crate. The mixer's own tests (cargo test -p benilla-app sound::) run against the
fork, sound::mixer::tests::a_stream_that_runs_out_before_its_reported_length_stops on patch 2.
