Changes made by Jean-Philippe Meuret to original ATSA
(by Oscar Pablo Di Liscia, Pete Moss and Juan Pampin)
to adapt it to the needs of QATSH, a Qt 4 GUI to ATSA
(made to get a better ATSH, a GTK 1.2 GUI to ATSA)

High level description

* The ATS file format has not been changed in any way.
* All computations have been converted to double (no more floats)
* All sampled sound file input / output have been removed
  from the library => no more link to sndlib (or any other)
  which implied changing the interface of several functions
  to replace file names by sample arrays or so.
* The synthesis of a sampled sound from an ATS sound
  has been added, based on code from ATSH (synth-funcs.c)

Low level description :

* all source files :
  - replaced mus_sample_t by double everywhere (now atsa works with double precision samples,
    and is independant from any sound IO library).

* atsa.h
  - changed (fixed) "HAMMING" define to "HANNING" (and updated relevant source files)
  - removed sndlib related stuff (configuration)
  - removed includes that are only necessary for function
    implementation (moved these includes to the .c files)
  - added some more comments
  - added some more macros found elsewhere in the code
    but that should have been put there before
  - modified interface of several functions :
    . init_sound : added the 'with_noise' flag for critical noise bands initialization
    . residual_analysis : replaced the 'file' parameter by double** res, int s_rate, int n_frames
    . compute_residual : 
      - moved the 'fil' parameter from 'mus_sample_t **' to a 'double *'
        (enforces double precision and monophonic samples)
      - removed the output_file parameter : the function now directly returns the computed
        residual arrays as a double**
    . tracker : 
      - replaced 'soundfile' char* parameter by double* in_samps, int s_rate, int n_frames
      - replaced 'resfile' char* parameter by double ***res
    . ppp2 : changed num arg type from 'int' to 'unsigned int'
    . changed char* to const char* everywhere
  - added ats_load function to load an ATS sound from a file
  - added set_av (made public this funtion from utilities.c)
  - added do_synthesis (from new synthesis.c)
  - added do_atsh_synthesis (from new synthesis.atsh.c)
  - added 'max_partials' field to ATS_SOUND structure, to enable variable number of partials
  - added increase_max_partials to reallocate/copy partials data arrays in an ATS_SOUND
  - added add_partial to add a new partial (all 0 or copy of a given one)
  - added remove_partial to remove a given partial
  - removed main_anal function (it's more a use example than a part of the library)
  - redeclared ATSA_CRITICAL_BAND_EDGES as an extern double array (defined in critical-bands.c)
  - removed unused 'args' field from ANARGS structure
  - removed unused 'bands' field from ATS_SOUND structure

* utilities.c
  - init_sound : 
    . added the 'with_noise' flag for critical noise bands initialization
      and associated code (allocating ATS_SOUND::band_energy or setting it to 0)
    . added initializaton of ampmax and freqmax to NIL, bands to 0
    . added initialization of the new 'max_partials' field (same value as 'partials')
  - free_sound : 
    . uncommented the allocation of band_energy
    . replaced every call to free(p) by if(p){free(p); p=0;} for safety
    . changed partials array data size to 'max_partials'
  - ppp2 :
    . changed num arg type from 'int' to 'unsigned int'
  - set_av :
    . added partial amplitude (amp) average computation
    . added partial sorting by increasing frequency
  - added increase_max_partials for reallocating a sound with more possible partials
  - added add_partial to add a new partial (all 0 or copy of a given one)
  - added remove_partial to remove a given partial

* save-load-sound.c
  - added ats_load function to load an ATS sound from a file
    with transparent little/big endian management (taken from atsh);
    output ATS sound is assumed to be optimized (ats_save enforces this).

* tracker.c
    . compute_frames : fixed buggy computation returning more frames than necessary.
    . tracker: 
      - replaced 'soundfile' char* parameter by double* in_samps, int s_rate, int n_frames
      - replaced 'resfile' char* parameter by double ***res
      - enforces in_samps to be a monophonic sound (no more error if stereo)
      - no more loading of the input sample file
      - no more storing of the computed residual to disk (updates res)
      - fixed generated ATS_SOUND duration to the really analyzed one
        (nb frames * nb samples per frame / sample rate)

* residual-analysis.c
  - residual_analysis : 
    . replaced the 'file' parameter by double** res, int s_rate, int n_frames
    . no more loading of the input residual sample file
  - updated code that uses ATSA_CRITICAL_BAND_EDGES (now a double array, no more a macro).

* residual.c
  - compute_residual : 
    . moved the 'fil' parameter from 'mus_sample_t **' to a 'double *'
      (enforces double precision and monophonic samples)
    . removed the output_file parameter : the function now directly returns the computed
      residual arrays as a double**

* critical-bands.c
  - added definition of ATSA_CRITICAL_BAND_EDGES (an extern double array declared in atsa.h
    that was formely defined as a macro)
  - updated code that uses it.

* synthesis.atsh.c
  - new synthesis related function, heavily inspired by synth-funcs.c from ATSH

* synthesis.c
  - new synthesis related function, an improved version of synthesis.atsh.c

* other-utils.c
  - fixed unsecure peak_frq_inc and peak_smr_dec about integer overflow

* peak-detection.c

* peak-tracking.c

* atsa.c and atsa-nogui.c : removed from the library, to make it independand
  from any sampled sound file IO library ; should be put in an example project
