- A Fixed number is of the type 12345.67890. It is 32 bits in size with the
- high order bits representing the significant value (that before the point)
- and the lower 16 bits representing the fractional part of the number.
-
- The Sound Manager further complicates matters by using Fixed numbers, but
- needing to represent numbers larger than what the Fixed is capable of.
-
- To do this the Sound Manager treats the sign bit as having the value 32768
- which will cause any number greater or equal to 32768 to look like it is
- negative.
-
- This routine is designed to "do the right thing" and convert any long double
- into the Fixed number it represents.
-
- long double is the input type because AIFF files use extended80 numbers and
- there are routines that will convert from an extended80 to a long double.
-
- A long double has far greater precision than a Fixed, so any number whose
- significant or fraction is larger than 65535 will not convert correctly.
