No problem. "We" got two ;-)

I thought I was the picky with compression sizes, but these chaps did a 
very roundabout way to compress that file as much as possible :-O

Yes... but I didn't notice it was a second chip, I thought it was only 
one.

The thing is, I never explorer that side because I'm not prepared to lose 
any of the inputs or oputputs, I use them all. I use the internal one for 
the TV card, in mono (argh!). The tv card is stereo, but the internal 
"phone" conector is mono. The external line-in and line-out goes to the 
video player, mic goes to the mic for VoIp phone... I would like more 
conectors, actually.
