Transitioning in and out of briefings should be more responsive

[J. King]

Currently pressing the "Start Mission" leads to a significant (over 2s?) amount of time before the button press seems to actually do anything: the briefing continues to play, the button can be pressed several times, etc. The same can be observed with the "Back" button.

If it's a matter of having to load the launch cutscene, it may make sense to pre-load the cutscene during the briefing so that launching is snappier.

Not an issue in current build

Confirmed that this still occurs. Foonix had suspected it was related to audio ducking, and he appears to be correct: stopping the briefing and waiting for any active voice clip to end before pressing the button results in an instantaneous transition.

Pushed a change that should address this behaviour by triggering an instant transition in the briefing scene, rather than waiting for audio to duck/unduck. Should be tested to ensure no side effects relating to incorrect audio levels being carried forward if transition is triggered during a change. Otherwise, the fix should be good to merge to development.

Going to mark this one as resolved, please raise a new issue if there are any side effects not found by now.
