+		 * RPG Maker uses a -35 decibel scale for volume. 100% volume is -0.35 dB, 99%
+		 * volume is -0.7 dB, 98% volume is -1.05 dB and so on. 0% volume is an
+		 * exception - the scale is hardcoded to be silent at 0% volume.
+		 *
+		 * This was deduced by running an RPG Maker XP game in Wine and attaching
+		 * winedbg to the game, with a breakpoint set in the
+		 * `IDirectSoundBuffer8::SetVolume` function in Wine's implementation of
+		 * dsound.dll. Chances are your Wine installation's dsound.dll will be
+		 * stripped, but you can easily find that function in Ghidra or whatever by
+		 * searching for strings, with the help of the source code of the function as
+		 * a reference:
+		 *
+		 * https://github.com/wine-mirror/wine/blob/1941a915368b8898da21d0dd4157fd68a4f4c9dd/dlls/dsound/buffer.c#L203
+		 *
+		 * Once you have a breakpoint at `IDirectSoundBuffer8::SetVolume`, all you
+		 * need to do is look at the stack in winedbg whenever the breakpoint is hit,
+		 * where the arguments to the function will be. Keep in mind that RPG Maker
+		 * calls `IDirectSoundBuffer8::SetVolume` once per frame per sound source, so
+		 * it'll be much easier for you if you modify your game's scripts to just play
+		 * one BGM sound at a known volume, and no other sounds.
