  Audio Driver: DAC

  which utilizes the dac unit many STM32 are equipped with, to output a modulated waveform from samples stored in the dac_buffer_* array who are passed to the hardware through DMA

  it is also possible to have a custom sample-LUT by implementing/overriding 'dac_value_generate'

  this driver allows for multiple simultaneous tones to be played through one single channel by doing additive wave-synthesis
