Summary0001422: Fadeout option when rendering
Description

Currently to my knowledge MPT has no simple way of exporting songs that loop with a fadeout without adding a fadeout pattern to the module itself. Therefore, I think it would be nice to have the option when rendering to MP3/WAV/etc to set an optional fadeout length for the export. I haven't extensively thought through what it could look like UI-wise, but maybe a checkbox + input field similar to the "Limit song length" field? So for example I would be able to choose "play entire song 2 times" and select a fadeout length of 10 seconds and I'd end up with a render that plays the full loop twice and then 10 seconds of a third loop fading out.

You might also consider an option to delete silence at the end.

Bump.

Wxx is still useful for compability and if you want to force how the module should be played.

But fade-out in stream-export is useful if you're making streamed music with OpenMPT and want looped music with a clean fade-out, as Wxx fades out the linear global volume in steps, which can be heard especially in the lower volumes.

It also saves time in compo-context as the Wxx-method is a bit slower, whereas you have to duplicate the "loop-start" pattern and flood-paste Wxx, or do a trick with Wxx in the loop-start pattern and make it start fading once the song loops.

There's so many possible parameters to change here (duration, fade curve, etc.) that I think it makes more sense to do these sort of operations in a dedicated sample editor (or the built-in sample editor if 16-bit resolution is sufficient). Makes it much easier to review and potentially re-do the change, too.
