I'm going to experiment with a different soundcard as well.  I'm
currently using the 24-bit soundcard on my motherboard which is
supposedly pretty good but still onboard sound and tasks the CPU more
than I like.  I have a SoundBlaster sitting here that may be a more
capable candidate for this task.

BTW, for a weak signal, this internally generated signal is very
strong.  I have a real hard time hearing the noise unless I crank the
can down quite a bit.
