No there isn't.

A little late...
I was more interested in some kind of documentation on the fileformat/soundchip, though maybe they consider the source documentation enough.

A documentation of the 'Pokey' Soundchip in the Atari 8Bit is e.g. here: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/kryten_droid/Atari/800XL/atari_hw/pokey.htm

P.S.: Only to avoid some surprises, Pokey also takes care of paddles, serial-io and keyboard scanning :-)
