Back to asynchronous updates and drawing, to try to improve guarantees on audio latency; experimenting with whether other parts of the approach are fundamentally flawed; added a broad-phase for scheduled updates on the 2600.

With no regard to performance whatsoever, endeavoured to bring sound to the 2600. It's very scratchy, so something is wrong.

Made a very basic stab at a couple of the tone generators, added straight-through path for the speaker when input rate exactly equals output rate.

Got the basic sound pipeline pumping, just enough for static-level audio seemingly to work. Berzerk VE says "intruder alert, intruder alert", anyway.

Finally started on generalising the C++ stuff so as to be able to be able to get a working audio binding on the OS-specific side without further repetition by factoring an appropriate protocol out from the Electron and sketching out the correct speaker class for the Atari. Added a method to ask it what a good output frequency would be.

Actually, the four-clock delay, with palette taking effect immediately, appears to be correct. So back to the drawing board on that.

Added something of the ball counter, but without yet a working HMOVE it's prone to error.

Generalised slightly, to allow events to be queued up to eight cycles in advance; most importantly each event gets to pick its own delay.

These functions appear correctly to model the NTSC and PAL palettes; the CRT's attempt to switch function doesn't work properly yet though.

Oh, of course, it's that the output vertex array doesn't get initialised unless there's an RGB shader program. Silly oversight. Fixed. And switched back to TV output for correct colours.
