you can type into a text box, have it play samples through the filter
stack and into a sample-recorder; then sequence that speech.
not an effect to be overused :)
(also we've had comercial work that used/uses this feature)

Most linux apps that use OSS will work on these platforms,
with the possible problem that on PPC some soundcards need the
samples little-endian; I still haven't figured whether this
is always the case on PPC, or what. Probably most sensible
apps should have a "reverse_endian" flag.
(they'll need it for recording to wav files on these platforms anyways...)
