[lively-kernel] More Sounds

[Alan Kay]

I've always thought that "plucked string" had an ungraceful decay (should be longer -- we finessed this by adding a little reverb).

Cheers,

Alan

I guess we should port back your improvements :) I tried commenting out the Squeak primitive code, and found that with current CPU speeds, it is not needed anymore. On my machine the synthesis, even if interpreted, uses only about 1 % of CPU time per voice.

Also I added a line of interpolation to banish the noise in PluckedSounds - they're really nice now.  I also refactored everything so that Envelopes are free of streaming state and thus can be shared among notes.
