- Where it is accessible, use the length of the stream to presize the MemoryStream to the correct size.
- Instead of copying out the result via ToArray, grab the underlying buffer via GetBuffer and use that to create the sound source.
This avoids extraneous copying of the array containing the audio.
Whilst the implementation appears to work most of the time, it sometimes stops playing audio mid-track. This could be an implementation issue, or bugs in the underlying streaming APIs of the OpenAL library. Either way, it is not currently reliable enough to be used.
This loads the sound inside a task, then begins playing it, avoiding blocking the UI thread. Unlike OpenAlStreamingSound it does not stream the sound from disk, rather, it loads the entire sound into memory and plays it in one go.
ALC is thread-safe, therefore we can clean up from any thread and do not need to marshal to the main game thread. To clean up the device properly, we must first unset and destroy the context before attempting to close the device.
