bloatfree approach 3SM/Screamtracker/IT/OctaMED/Any module support plans

[coderofsalvation]

Hi,

I really like the performance and footprint of the current bassoonplayer. The planned features are awesome, but is it an idea to somehow implemented all this in a modular way? The thing is that the current MOD/XM player works 100% CRACKLE-FREE on lowcpu browsers, which ALL (emscripten) mod/xm players fail to do. I'm probably preaching to the converted already, but how about being able to 'build' the player-directory with only the desired formats?

• xm/mod: core
• s3m, it, octamed, etc: opt in using cli flag

The pattern i noticed across mobile webbrowsers is: as soon as emscripten, polyphony or synthesis is introduced, all bets are off concerning cracklefree playback. Even highly optimized engines like https://ide.csound.com can't seem to escape this.

Anyways, my suggestion is that eventually we could basically prebuild:

• player/bassoonplayer.core.min.js <-- xm/mod in case you want to run graphics on the same thread, small filesize e.g.
• player/bassoonplayer.full.min.js <-- dont care, give me everything

That way developers can scale up/down depending on their usecase. Thanks for all the great work so far!
