The latter occurs when Willy has completed a jump (i.e. 18 time-frames have passed since he started it), and hasn't landed on a standonable surface. The value of 06 takes into account the fact that Willy has already fallen five half-cells from the apex of his jump. (And it also ensures that the pitch of the tail-end of the 'jumping' sound effect, blends seamlessly into the pitch of the 'falling' sound effect.)
