Add a new boolean surround-delay property that makes
audioecho just apply a delay to certain channels to create
a surround effect, rather than an echo on all
channels. This is useful when upmixing from stereo - for example.
Add a surround-mask property to control which channels
are considered surround sound channels when adding a
delay with surround-delay = true
Original patch from Jochen Henneberg <jh@henneberg-systemdesign.com>
Introduce a new max-delay property that can only
be set before going to PLAYING or PAUSED. This
is used to limit the maximum delay and is set
to the current delay by default.
Using this will make sure that we have enough data
in our internal ringbuffer for the echo. With dynamic
reallocation of the ringbuffer as used before silence
could've been used as the echo directly after setting
a new delay.
The element can add an echo and a simple reverb effect to
an audio stream but for a real reverb filter it would need
some additional filtering to prevent a metallic-sounding
result.
