Playing music at $A000 - $FFFF "behind" kernal

Ok, you saw the simple IRQ music player I added previously, now let's play some music inside the IRQ that is outside the $0400-$9fff area. How do we come about it? Well, simple really. We need to turn off the kernal (SET #$35 to $01) initialize the tune and then turn the kernal back on (SET #$37 to $01). You do the same to play the music as well. This is an example for a JCH/DMC tune at $A000.
