That's the electrical-engineering thought I had, too. But I guess it doesn't
matter what word is chosen as long as everyone uses it consistently. (Ha!)

This is OT, but I'm finally about to put together a new system. Does someone
want to recommend to me a sound card that will provide me with at least the
following:
- 1+ digital inputs (stereo)
- 1+ digital outputs (stereo or more)
- line-level analog in and out (stereo or more)
- ALSA support
- a price tag that won't break the bank
Also, I'm heartened to see traffic on the list...I had been messing around with
OCTAL but I only have so many hours in the day free to play with it. Could we
set up some sort of code-exchange system (i'm thinking about the site on
subversions.gnu.org right now) so that some of these things that people have
been doing can actually be shared with others?
