This is happening because the data buffer is incorrectly being reported
as busy (still loading) which is used to indicate to the engine that no
data is available and therefore nothing can be played.
Previously you could set the group to NULL in which case the master
group would be used, but this has now changed and the group parameter
can never be NULL. Use ma_engine_get_master_sound_group() to retrieve
the master sound group.

The fade in/out system has been replaced with something more general
and flexible which allows for up to two fade points to be configured
per sound or group, with arbitrary time periods and volumes.
This commit also includes the addition of a placeholder parameter for
ma_engine_sound_init_from_file() which is used to notify the caller
when an asynchronously loaded sound has finished loading.
Fading is now set using these APIs:
* ma_engine_sound_set_fade_in()
* ma_engine_sound_set_fade_out()
When a sound is stopped, either by naturally reaching the end, or
explicitly with ma_engine_sound_stop(), the fade out will be applied.
Fading will also be applied around loop transitions.
Note that when a sound is stopped implicitly by it reaching the end,
fading out will not work when the length of the sound is not know (that
is, when ma_data_source_get_length_in_pcm_frames() returns 0).
* ma_data_source_get_cursor_in_pcm_frames()
* ma_data_source_get_length_in_pcm_frames()
When the data source has no notion of a cursor or length, these return
MA_NOT_IMPLEMENTED to let the caller know about it. This is returned
when a custom data source leaves these functions unimplemented.
ma_decoder, ma_audio_buffer, ma_waveform and ma_noise have all been
updated to support these new functions.
This adds support for having a sound fade in when it is started and
fade out when it is stopped.
This commit does not yet include support for fading out when the sound
approaches the end - it only fades out when explicitly stopped with
ma_sound_stop().
The fade time is set in milliseconds.
This commit includes a new effect called ma_fader, but it currently
only supports f32 formats. Support for other formats will be added in
the future.
The ma_async_notification object is used for notifying the application
that an asynchronous operation has completed.
Custom notifications can be implemented by implementing the callback in
ma_async_notification_callbacks. There is currently only a single
callback called onSignal which is fired when the operation completes. A
helper notification which wraps around an ma_event object called
ma_async_notification_event is implemented which you can use as an
example for building your own notifications.
