Rewrite GameAudioPlayer to use tambo

[jbphet]

The GameAudioPlayer type currently uses the older vibe library and should be rewritten to use tambo instead, since that library uses Web Audio in a more standard way and is the one we plan to use long term.

Closely related to phetsims/vibe#33.

Here is a list of the sims that will need to have sound buttons removed and be tested for this change:

• arithmetic
• build-a-molecule
• make-a-ten
• build-a-fraction
• area-builder
• balancing-act
• build-an-atom
• fraction-matcher
• fractions-equality
• fractions-intro
• fractions-mixed-numbers
• area-model-algebra
• area-model-multiplication
• equality-explorer
• expression-exchange
• graphing-lines
• balancing-chemical-equations
• reactants-products-and-leftovers

I recommend this option, to be applied to all sims that use GameAudioPlayer and have not been explicitly released with UI sounds enabled:

• (D) Do something to enable game sounds, but not all UI sounds. (The correct way to address this issue, imo.)

This can be accomplished by setting the output level to zero for the 'ui-sounds' category:

soundManager.setOutputLevelForCategory( 'user-interface', 0 );

But this exposes another bug. Sounds that were recently added to vegas UI components (LevelSelectionButton, back button in scoreboard, ...). were not associated with the 'ui-sounds' category, so can't be turned off. This will also need to be fixed in #98.

@jbphet and @markgammon will collaborate on a sim-specific issue, and put individual issues in the repos of the sims with effected games.

11/18/21 design meeting: @amanda-phet @arouinfar @kathy-phet @markgammon @jbphet @chrisklus @ariel-phet

• @jbphet and @markgammon will create an issue for each sim listed in Rewrite GameAudioPlayer to use tambo #77 (comment), indicating that UI sounds have been enabled, and describing how to turn off 'ui-sounds'. You can skip fourier-making-waves, because it has been intentionally published with UI sounds.
• @pixelzoom will address UI sounds were enabled unintentionally. equality-explorer#177 by turning off 'ui-sounds' category, and cherry-picking the fixes in Sounds were not added to category 'ui-sounds'. #98. Sound behavior will be the same as in the current 1.0 version published on the PhET website.

Issues created indicating UI sounds have been enabled and how to turn these off:

• Area-builder
• Area-Model-Common
• Arithmetic
• Balancing-act
• Balancing-chemical-equations
• Build-a-molecule
• Build-an-atom
• Equality-explorer
• Expression-exchange
• Fractions-intro
• Fractions-mixed-numbers
• Fractions-equality
• Fraction-matcher
• Graphing-lines
• Make-a-ten
• Reactants-products-and-leftovers

[markgammon]

@pixelzoom - @jbphet and I created an issue for deciding whether to turn off UI sounds and have added it to each of the listed sims.

Should this issue remain open or ok to close?

[pixelzoom]

Sorry I missed the above question - this issue was not assigned back to me.

OK to close.
