This fades the dry mixing gains using a logarithmic curve, which should produce
a smoother transition than a linear one. It functions similarly to a linear
fade except that
step = (target - current) / numsteps;
...
gain += step;
becomes
step = powf(target / current, 1.0f / numsteps);
...
gain *= step;
where 'target' and 'current' are clamped to a lower bound that is greater than
0 (which makes no sense on a logarithmic scale).
Consequently, the non-HRTF direct mixers do not do not feed into the click
removal and pending click buffers, as this per-sample fading would do an
adequate job of stopping clicks and pops caused by extreme gain changes. These
buffers should be removed shortly.
