Mockingboard SSI263 (speech chips) disabled #22

The SSI263 codepaths are currently disabled. This means that any images that attempt to use this feature of the Mockingboard will not work correctly.

At a minimum the effort to support this feature would roughly be:

  • Find a good set of disk images that exercise the speech chips
  • Study SSI263 datasheets from ASIMOV
  • Augment our backend audio API (our shims to OpenAL, OpenSLES, etc) to support "one-shot" and repeating play of phonemes
  • Uncomment and refactor the dedicated SSI263 thread(s) to use pthreads
  • Possibly refactoring needed in our simplistic software mixer (in the OpenAL/OpenSLES/etc backend), to add support for more than just 2 voices (speaker and existing mockingboard)
  • Write new [tracing] tests that prove correctness and conformance of new code against a baseline
  • If newly enabled SSI263 codepaths add significant overhead for low-end Android/embedded devices, default-disable SSI263 through a user preference
