A sampler voice set up with an all-zero format has no channels. Adding no
waveform blocks to it, or setting a matrix with no levels, threw
std::invalid_argument, which ends the title.
Accept both on such a voice: the empty add only applies RESET and the
CONTINUE state, and the empty matrix clears that matrix, which rendering
already treats as unset. Blocks with data, APPEND, and an empty matrix on
a voice with a format are still refused.
Steins;Gate Re:Boot (PPSA36591) clears a voice this way when a button is
pressed at its title screen.

A playing sampler voice whose waveform still accepts blocks (CONTINUE)
reported only INUSE|PLAYING after it had played every queued block, so
a title that waits for EMPTY before it reuses the voice never did.
PPSA18391 (engine: Clickteam Fusion) reads state_flags & 0x22 != 2 from
sceNgs2VoiceGetState as the end of a sound; each of its sound effects
played once and never again.
The voice now also reports EMPTY (0x20) in that state and keeps
playing, so blocks added later still play. A waveform that was closed
without CONTINUE does not report it.
AddWaveformBlocks rejects a null data pointer before reaching the silence
path, so TestSilenceBlock aborted and its dataless rejection passed for the
wrong reason.
A waveform block that declares samples with no data threw as not
fitting them. PPSA04867 adds such a block with flags 0x11 (data_size 0,
num_samples 16385) and terminates the process on the throw, followed by
a fully specified block under the same flags, which takes the ordinary
path. Accept flag 0x10, named SILENCE here: a dataless block under it
renders num_samples frames of silence and finishes like a complete
block, reporting its bytes through decoded_data_size. A dataless block
without the flag keeps throwing. No public reference names the flag;
the assumption is recorded in TechnicalDebt.

A 16-bit PCM block whose num_samples exceed its data starts a stream, and waveform blocks with flag 0x2 append more data to it. The voice outputs silence while it has played all appended data and CONTINUE is set, and ends at num_samples or when CONTINUE is cleared.
