RE: optimised WASAPI exclusive eventns c++ code

Am satisfied that 2.10 is a big enough step up in SQ so have uploaded sse2 and sse4 versions of mqnplay.exe 3.10 and 1.10 for the non version 2 users.

Have also uploaded a no affinity setting version of mqncontrol.exe as someone was complaining that he wasn't able to work on his laptop at the same time.

the sse4 version needs sse4.1 instruction set on your cpu, check using cpuz

have been playing about with developing my own masm optimised version of memcpy using sse4 streaming reads and sse2 streaming writes as described in the article below, am very happy with the results. the sse4 version uses movntdqa for streaming reads and the sse2 version uses movdqa, so you can compare the sse2 and sse4 version to see if there is an improvement using sse4, I think there is a big difference in the SQ between the two.

version 2.7 of MQn was recently compared to jplay in a 1 and 2 player setup and they liked MQn better in standalone and thought jplay had more body and staging in the 2 player setup. That was using version 2.7 sse4 which sounds pretty awful compared to 2.10 sse4/sse2, so not a bad result.
