Essentially, there are 4 channels, each providing a number 0-15 on every tick. Emulator should mix them together (arithmetic average), scale up to 0-255 and feed to the sound buffer, adjusting the tick rate (4.19MHz) to the sound output rate (e.g.: 22 kHz) - taking every ~190 value (4.19MHz / 22 kHz) is a good start.

Now the 0..15 value that should be produced by each channel depends on its characteristics, but it's well documented:

Channels 1 and 2 produce square waves, so a bunch of low (0) and high (15) values, with optional volume envelope (gradually going down from 15 to 0 on the "high" part of the square) and frequency sweep (alternating 0s and 15s slower or faster).

Channel 3 allows an arbitrary waveform, read from the memory.

Channel 4 is a random noise, generated by the LSFR.
