 //   * Smaller with a second buffer to help with a loop in the middle (state STREAMED WITH SECOND BUF = 6)

+// This buffer is generally filled by sceAtracAddStreamData, and where to fill it is given by
+// either sceAtracGetStreamDataInfo when continuing to move forwards in the stream of audio data,
+// or sceAtracGetBufferInfoForResetting when seeking to a specific location in the audio stream.
+//
+// State 6 indicates a second buffer is needed.  This buffer is used to manage looping correctly.
+// To determine how to fill it, the game will call sceAtracGetSecondBufferInfo, then after filling
+// the buffer it will call sceAtracSetSecondBuffer.
+//
+// Most files will be in RIFF format.  It's also possible to load in an OMA/AA3 format file, but
+// ultimately this will share the same buffer - it's just offset a bit more.
+//
+// Low level decoding doesn't use the buffer, and decodes only a single packet at a time.
+//
+// Lastly, sceSas has some integration with sceAtrac, which allows setting an Atrac id as
+// a voice for an SAS core.  In this mode, the game will directly modify some of the AtracContext,
+// but will largely only interact using sceSas.
+//
+// Note that this buffer is THE view of the audio stream.  On a PSP, the firmware does not manage
+// any cache or separate version of the buffer - at most it manages decode state from earlier in
+// the buffer.
