Re: xx21 series hardware features

Similar considerations apply with the analog processor. Once again,  
wonderful
for a multimedia machine on a chip, but at 6 bits it is more than a  
little
rough, especially for audio, which seems to be the whole point.  
Oversampling
can only go so far! Once again, producing a USEFUL signal detracts  
from the
low cost and minimalist ethos of the chip.

Alex,

6' audio is sufficient for answering machine-quality audio if you  
compand it.
