 /// <summary>
 /// AudioSource members of an effect source mapped to a <see cref="SourceState"/> during rendering: the patches below skip the
 /// Unity implementation and read or change the state instead (isPlaying, time, timeSamples, pitch, SetScheduledEndTime, Stop).
-/// Sources without a mapping (the song, menu sounds) use the Unity implementation.
+/// The patches apply only while <see cref="TryGet"/> returns true: rendering is capturing (RenderManager.IsCapturingActive,
+/// stage Render), the render has an audio mixer (created when the render starts, cleared when it ends), and the source is mapped
+/// in that mixer (mappings are created only when RenderAudio is on). Otherwise they run the Unity implementation, so sources
+/// without a mapping (the song, menu sounds) and all sources outside rendering behave as in the game.
+///
+/// The game object of a mapped source is deactivated at the end of the frame it was mapped in: the mixer produces its sound and the
+/// state answers every member above, so Unity does not process the source. The game activates it again when AudioManager.MakeSource
+/// reuses it. Active AudioSources add main-thread time per frame in proportion to their count, and dense levels keep thousands of
+/// scheduled effect sources alive.
