Multiple simultaneous sounds & tasks

[rawcreative]

Just pushed an update to fix the sounds issue, however the Task command is not set up to handle multiple tasks at once. Only one can be created/run at a time presently, and unless someone wants to write a thread safe queuing system for concurrent/asynchronous tasks, it's probably not going to happen anytime soon (I simply don't have the time right now). It would be much easier to implement if javascriptcore allowed for constructors in JS, but they don't currently work, which means some other method would need to be used to mimic a factory pattern so that managing the tasks wouldn't be a nightmare or full of potential memory leaks.

Awesome, thanks for the Sound fix!

It looks like the JS constructors issue has been fixed last year (see https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123380) but I'm guessing we can't guarantee that everyone on OS X 10.9 has the fixed webkit?

Yeah it’s been fixed in webkit but still hasn’t made it into javascriptcore.. I haven’t installed 10.10 yet (waiting for DP3) so it’s possible it’s in there now, but even if it was, we’d have to bump the minimum version to 10.10 for MG if we wanted to use it.

Darn! It would indeed have been nice to use it. I don't think we want a 10.10 minimum :(
