9 hoursdocs: document audio WAV drift bug investigationskal
Root cause: audio_render_ahead() over-renders by 366ms per 10s, causing progressive timing drift in WAV files. Events appear early in viewer. Findings: - Renders 11,733 extra frames over 40s (331,533 vs 319,800 expected) - Ring buffer accumulates excess audio (~19 frames/iteration) - WAV dump reads exact 533 frames but renders ~552 frames per call - Results in -180ms drift at 60 beats visible in timeline viewer Debug changes: - Added render tracking to audio.cc to measure actual vs expected - Added drift printf to tracker.cc for kick/snare timing analysis - Added WAV sample rate detection to timeline viewer See doc/AUDIO_WAV_DRIFT_BUG.md for complete analysis and proposed fixes.
