Playback WAV files
------------------

This sketch shows how to playback audio samples from a buffer.

An audio file is loaded into a buffer `SampleData` as `gSampleData`. This is 
accessed with a read pointer that is incremented at audio rate within the render 
function: `out += gSampleData.samples[gReadPtr++]`.

Note that the read pointer is stopped from incrementing past the length of the 
`gSampleData`. This is achieved by comparing the read pointer value against the 
sample length which we can access as follows: `gSampleData.sampleLen`.

The sample is triggered by keyboard input: (a) starts sample playback, (s) 
stops sample playback. The triggering is treated as a lower priority task than 
the audio. You can see this at the bottom of the render function: 
`Bela_scheduleAuxiliaryTask(gTriggerSamplesTask)`;
