+/* audio system:
+ *
+ * audio.[ch] takes care of all overall state, tracking the actively playing
+ *            notes/tones; the notes a SONG consists of;
+ *            ...
+ *            = everything audio-related that is platform agnostic
+ *
+ * driver_[avr|chibios]_[dac|pwm] take care of the lower hardware dependent parts,
+ *            specific to each platform and the used subsystem/driver to drive
+ *            the output pins/channels with the calculated frequencies for each
+ *            active tone
+ *            as part of this, the driver has to trigger regular state updates by
+ *            calling 'audio_update_state' through some sort of timer - be it a
+ *            dedicated one or piggybacking on for example the timer used to
+ *            generate a pwm signal/clock.
+ *
+ *
+ * A Note on terminology:
+ * tone, pitch and frequency are used somewhat interchangeably, in a strict Wikipedia-sense:
+ *    "(Musical) tone, a sound characterized by its duration, pitch (=frequency),
+ *    intensity (=volume), and timbre"
+ * - intensity/volume is currently not handled at all, although the 'dac_additive' driver could do so
+ * - timbre is handled globally (TODO: only used with the pwm drivers at the moment)
+ *
+ * in musical_note.h a 'note' is the combination of a pitch and a duration
+ * these are used to create SONG arrays; during playback their frequencies
+ * are handled as single successive tones, while the durations are
+ * kept track of in 'audio_update_state'
+ *
+ * 'voice' as it is used here, equates to a sort of instrument with its own
+ * characteristics sound and effects
+ * the audio system as-is deals only with (possibly multiple) tones of one
+ * instrument/voice at a time (think: chords). since the number of tones that
+ * can be reproduced depends on the hardware/driver in use: pwm can only
+ * reproduce one tone per output/speaker; DACs can reproduce/mix multiple
+ * when doing additive synthesis.
+ *
+ * 'duration' can either be in the beats-per-minute related unit found in
+ * musical_notes.h, OR in ms; keyboards create SONGs with the former, while
+ * the internal state of the audio system does its calculations with the later - ms
