A human play-test heard music under the boot intro and no voices. The obvious
reading -- the 5.1 fold dropped the centre channel -- is wrong. `ADV.wmv` carries
music and effects only; a cutscene's voice is a separate continuous XMA stream in
`sound.pak`, bound to the movie by the manifest in `tables.pak`. Nothing was
dropped. The exporter had never been asked for it, so every fidelity measurement
in AUDIO-VERIFICATION.md would have come back clean.
`audio::export_voice` resolves it with `media::resolve_movie_voice_region` and
never by filename: `RT01A`'s voice lives inside `VOICE_ADV.slb`, so a name match
is correct on exactly the two movies this port would have spot-checked. Decoded,
not authored -- so it runs outside the `authored/audio.json` block.
THE FIRST VERSION CONCATENATED THE REGION'S CHUNKS AND WAS WRONG. It produced
359 s of dialogue for a 137 s movie. Decoding and timing each chunk shows two of
them equal to six decimals and each spanning the whole movie -- HANDOFF Q10's
decoded two-stem shape on a second asset kind -- so they are summed at 1/n. The
error was visible only because the first version recorded the decoded length
against the movie's instead of clamping to it; the clamp `media`'s own doc
comment invites, and which `sylpheed-viewer` applies, would have produced a file
of exactly the right duration containing the wrong audio.
The dropped leading chunk matches no duration in its region and is NOT closed
here. It is the same signature as `BGM_103`'s third sub-wave, already open in
BLOCKED.md, now corroborated on an independent asset kind. Raised with the
Decoder; the manifest names every chunk dropped and its length.
Also in this commit, and separable:
* `--skip-at=SECONDS` -- `--script` structurally cannot press during a movie,
because `_script_settled` waits while `_player != null`. That is why "does (A)
skip the intro" had been read out of the source rather than measured.
* MISSION section 6 pins a 5.1->stereo matrix and this exporter has shipped a
different one since P4 -- the same weighting, 7.65 dB quieter -- and said so
nowhere. Re-measured with the right instrument (float decode, whole file, count
the samples that would clamp, not a peak reading): the pinned matrix puts ADV
at +4.26 dBFS on 4406 samples, while S00A never clips. So the pin overloads one
movie and the constant is over-broad for the other. NOT changed -- the level of
a mix is what section 6 reserves to a human. The export now carries a warning
with the numbers.
