  • "Disabled" compression mode renamed to "PCM (Uncompressed)". It's the nomenclature used in other engines. Edit: added (Uncompressed) for clarity.
  • All mentions of "IMA ADPCM" such as "RAM(Ima-ADPCM)" and "IMA-ADPCM" renamed to the former (except code comments).
  • "QOA (Quite OK Audio)" reduced to "Quite OK Audio".
  • More details to compression modes have been added.
  • Added Detect From WAV on description.
  • AudioStreamWAV descriptions adjusted to remove info relevant to the importer.

[b]Ping-Pong:[/b] Play audio forward until it's done playing, then play it backward and repeat. This is similar to mirrored texture repeat, but for audio.
[b]Backward:[/b] Play audio in reverse and loop back to the end when done playing.
Controls how audio should loop.
- [b]Detect From WAV:[/b] Uses loop information from the WAV metadata.

- [b]Detect From WAV:[/b] Uses loop information from the WAV metadata.
- [b]Disabled:[/b] Don't loop audio, even if metadata indicates the file playback should loop.
- [b]Forward:[/b] Standard audio looping. Plays the audio forward from the begin point to the end point, then loops back.
- [b]Ping-Pong:[/b] Plays the audio forward until the end point, then backwards to the begin point, repeating this cycle.

Goodness me I hated that comparison with texture repeat. This is not criticism to this PR.

Small note, in some languages "cycle" and "loop" would be translated to the same thing. Maybe saying "then it repeats" would be more appropriate.

Small correction on loop forward description: it always starts at the absolute beginning of the file (position 0), plays all the way to loop_end then seeks back to loop_begin

Forgot a few names in AudioStreamWAV properties, done now.

For the many users who aren't particularly familiar with WAV format compression, I think it would still be worth to make it clear which of those is uncompressed (which users may understand intuitively to be bigger but faster on CPU).

Suggested change
r_options->push_back(ImportOption(PropertyInfo(Variant::INT, "compress/mode", PROPERTY_HINT_ENUM, "PCM,IMA ADPCM,Quite OK Audio"), 0));
r_options->push_back(ImportOption(PropertyInfo(Variant::INT, "compress/mode", PROPERTY_HINT_ENUM, "PCM (Uncompressed),IMA ADPCM,Quite OK Audio"), 0));
