This will be to allow buffer layering, multiple buffers of the same format and
sample rate that are mixed together prior to resampling, filtering, and
panning. This will allow composing sounds from individual components that can
be swapped around on different invocations (e.g. layer SoundA and SoundB on one
instance and SoundA and SoundC on a different instance for a slightly different
sound, then just SoundA for a third instance, and so on). The longest buffer
within the list item determines the length of the list item.
More work needs to be done to fully support it, namely the ability to specity
multiple buffers to layer for static and streaming sources. Also the behavior
of loop points for layered static sources should be worked out. Should also
consider allowing each layer to have a sample offset.
