+/**
+ * @brief This is a singleton-designed class that holds all the preloaded
+ * data as well as functions to request new file data and collect the file
+ * handles to close after they are read.
+ *
+ * This object caches the file data that was already preloaded in case it is asked
+ * again by a region using the same sample. In this situation, both regions have a
+ * handle on the same preloaded data.
+ *
+ * The file request is immediately served using the preloaded data. A ticket is then
+ * provided to the voice that requested the file, and the file loading happens in the
+ * background. When the file is fully loaded, the background makes the full data available
+ * to the voice and consumes the ticket, while conserving a handle on this file. When the
+ * voice dies it releases its handle on the files, which should decrease the  reference count
+ * to 1. A garbage collection thread then runs regularly to clear the memory of all file
+ * handles with a reference count of 1.
