Gave the binary tape player a more logical assignment of wave level to output level. Which miraculously appears to have been the issue with the ZX80/81 tape loading — the inconsistency of silences seems to have been the issue.

Workaround for a weird bug that suddenly appears to manifest: gzgetc is returning the file name, not bytes from the file. Seems to be related to improper initialisation of the next field within the gzFile header. I can't immediately see where ZLib intends to do that so it's a bit mysterious. But the larger-than-8 readers could probably save time by reading in blocks anyway.

More or less rewrote, to use a filled-per-chunk buffer of upcoming pulses rather than working them out as requests come. Which is more straightforward — all the code for a particular chunk goes in exactly one place — and much easier to extend. So threw in a provisional 0104 implementation.
