the PIC is in charge of it, the current handling is a simulation
the actual PIC dump will make it easier to be confident about the mapping of samples, music, channel priorities, volumes etc.
based on the protected dump(s) the program is tiny tho, so it's probably not going to change a huge amount, but it's one of those little things where I'll be a lot happier knowing it's correct for sure.
