Revert "Simplification and refactoring of the AudioBuffer code"

This reverts commit 81c0cf287c8514cb1cd6f3baca484d668c6eb128.

Reason for revert: internal test failures

Original change's description:
> Simplification and refactoring of the AudioBuffer code
> 
> This CL performs a major refactoring and simplification
> of the AudioBuffer code that.
> -Removes 7 of the 9 internal buffers of the AudioBuffer.
> -Avoids the implicit copying required to keep the
>  internal buffers in sync.
> -Removes all code relating to handling of fixed-point
>  sample data in the AudioBuffer.
> -Changes the naming of the class methods to reflect
>  that only floating point is handled.
> -Corrects some bugs in the code.
> -Extends the handling of internal downmixing to be
>  more generic.
