The biggest problem would be the multiple sound channels it would require -
at least 2 per sound.  We'll have to look into it, but I can't guarantee
anything.

A lot of the systems sold over the counter have clone sound - Yamaha OPL3SA
in Toshiba's stuff, Crystal in IBM's stuff, ESS in others, with the odd
Creative Labs Vibra or equivalent in others.  The idea I was trying to get
across is that most sound devices sold with today's bundled systems are,
more or less, crap.

Yes, but will the change be so subtle that you won't be able to tell that a
change has happened?  Again, we'll see.
