The "puff of air" is merely the continuation of voicelessness.  [p_ha]
is really [p] followed by [a_0] and then [a].  Aspirated, unaspirated,
partially voiced, and fully voiced is merely a matter of how much time
is spent with the vocal cords not vibrating, aspirated means that the
vocal cords turn on after the release of the stop, unaspirated means
they turn on at the same time as the release, partial voiced means they
turn on during the stop, and voiced means they remain on the whole time.
