The priority of a channel is represented by a range plus an offset. For example, DAUD_HIGH_VOICE_PRIORITY combined with DAUD_CHAN10_VOICE_PRIORITY_OFFSET represents the highest priority within the high range. Combined range and offset values for the standard range are defined for convenience in Dmusicc.h as DAUD_CHAN1_DEF_VOICE_PRIORITY, .DAUD_CHAN2_DEF_VOICE_PRIORITY, and so on.
Channels that have the same priority value have equal priority, regardless of which channel group they belong to.
