New user-facing features:
* Recording. Dedicated Record menu (Alt+O — moved from Alt+R to
avoid clashing with the Receive audio checkbox), Start/Stop on
Ctrl+R, settings dialog, per-profile source / format / bit-depth /
channel-mode / folder. Three source modes (received only, sent
only, both). Files are crash-resilient — a process crash
mid-recording leaves a playable file containing everything up to
the last header refresh (~5 seconds).
* Four output formats, all functional:
- WAV: 16/24-bit PCM or 32-bit float, custom writer with
periodic RIFF re-patching.
- MP3: LAME 128–320 kbps CBR (via NAudio.Lame).
- OGG-Opus: 96–256 kbps VBR (via Concentus.Oggfile, reusing the
Concentus encoder from the wire path).
- FLAC: 16/24-bit lossless (via CUETools.Codecs.FLAKE — pure
managed, no native DLL).
* Recording start/stop sound cues. record start.wav and
record stop.wav play around the recording transition. Played via
System.Media.SoundPlayer to the default Windows output, separate
from the recording pipeline so a normal recording does not contain
the cue.
* Per-cue Preferences. The old single "Mute connect/disconnect
sounds" checkbox is replaced by a CheckedListBox: Connect /
Disconnect / Recording start / Recording stop. Old profiles with
the legacy MuteConnectionCues=true are honoured on first load via
a migration path in the new Load* helpers.
* Receiver-side drift compensation switched from discrete
single-frame splices to a continuous WdlResampler at a smoothed
rate ratio. SessionPlayout.cs rewrite.
Diagnostics (only active with Enable logs ticked):
* Per-stage discontinuity probes — sender raw capture (per backend,
PushModeWasapi + Asio both wired), sender pre-encode (now per
lane in BothIndependent, fixing a cross-stream artefact), receiver
post-decode, post-ring, post-resampler.
* Wire-level packet sequence tracking on each PCM stream — in-order
/ missed / reordered / duplicated counts in the diag log.
* Clipped-sample delta in the diag log.
* New AudioStepProbe in RemSound.Core with per-channel scan helper.
UI changes:
* Record menu uses Alt+O (Rec&ord). Inside the menu, item mnemonics
unchanged (S / T / O / C).
* Auto-tune interval combo label is mode-aware: "Auto-tune latency
interval" in classic modes, "Auto-tune interval — WASAPI and ASIO"
in BothIndependent. The combo's Enabled state now follows EITHER
lane's auto-tune checkbox (was only the WASAPI one — bug).
Wire format and audio pipeline unchanged from v1.1 — v1.1 and v1.2
peers interoperate.

Adds a v1.1 block above the existing v1.0 block in the About dialog,
covering the priority-mode feature, always-on network packet priority,
larger UDP kernel buffers, MMCSS Critical bump, and the logging-toggle
bug fix. Version property in the .csproj bumped from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0 so
the About dialog heading and the self-updater's CurrentVersion both
report 1.1.

Priority mode (per-profile toggle, Audio profile tab, Alt+U):
- Bundled PROCESS_POWER_THROTTLING_STATE with EXECUTION_SPEED and
IGNORE_TIMER_RESOLUTION flags (keeps CPU at full clock + 1 ms quantum
pinned regardless of OS idle decisions)
- PowerSetRequest(EXECUTION_REQUIRED) + SetThreadExecutionState so the
system can't decide we're idle and downclock
- timeBeginPeriod(1) for 1 ms scheduler quantum
- ProcessPriorityClass.High, ProcessMemoryPriority normal, working-set
minimum locked via SetProcessWorkingSetSizeEx(HARDWS_MIN_ENABLE)
- Fully reversed on toggle-off and on form close
- Off by default (battery cost on laptops); explicit opt-in per profile
MMCSS thread priority on hot threads bumped from High to Critical
(network listener, mix loop, render thread) — always on.
Network packet priority (always on, no toggle):
- qWAVE flow on the outbound UDP socket at QOS_TRAFFIC_TYPE_VOICE with
QOS_NON_ADAPTIVE_FLOW (Voice priority, DSCP 46/EF, WMM Voice on Wi-Fi)
- Silent fallback if qwave.dll missing or QoS service disabled
- Sender + receiver kernel UDP buffers bumped to 1 MB each (was
256 KB send / 512 KB receive) for resilience against ~30 ms stalls
Bug fix: PreferencesDialog logging toggle no longer flags the profile
as dirty. Logging is a machine-local AppConfig setting; the spurious
ChangedAnyProfileSetting flag was triggering the unsaved-changes prompt
on exit after toggling logs alone.
Manual updated: new "Use CPU and Windows performance settings in high
priority mode (Alt+U)" subsection on the Audio profile tab, new
"Network packet priority (qWAVE / Voice / WMM)" subsection in the
network chapter, Alt+U row added to keyboard-shortcuts table.
