+voice -- Voices
+
+A voice is a simple, singular unit of sound generation that encompasses the following
+properties:
+-A *generator*: some function that generates a waveform. As an input, it receives theta,
+ the phase of the signal it is to generate (in [0, 2pi)) and, as an output, it produces
+ the sample at that point, a normalized amplitude value in [-1, 1].
+-An *envelope*: a function that receives a boolean (the status of whether or not a note
+ is playing now) and the change in time, and outputs a factor in [0, 1] that represents
+ a modification to the volume of the generator (pre-output mix).
+All of these functions may internally store state or other data, usually by being 
+implemented as a class with a __call__ method.
+
+Voices are meant to generate audio data. This can be done in a number of ways, least to
+most abstracted:
+-A sample at a certain phase (theta) may be gotten from the generator; this can be done
+ by calling the voice outright;
+-A set of samples can be generated via the .samples() method, which receives the number
+ of samples to generate and the phase velocity (a function of the sample rate and the
+ desired frequency of the waveform's period; this can be calculated using the static
+ method .phase_vel());
+-Audio data with enveloping can be generated using the .data() method, which calls the
+ envelope function as if the note is depressed at the given phase velocity; if the
+ freq is specified as None, then the note is treated as released. Note that
+ this will often be necessary for envelopes, as many of them are stateful (as they
+ depend on the first derivative of time). Also, at this level, the Voice will maintain
+ some state (namely, the phase at the end of generation) which will ensure (C0) smooth
+ transitions between already smooth generator functions, even if the frequency changes.
+-Finally, a pyaudio-compatible stream callback can be provided with .pyaudio_scb(), a
+ method that returns a function that arranges to call .data() with the appropriate values.
+ The freq input to .data() will be taken from the .freq member of the voice in a possibly
+ non-atomic manner.
