> Isn't 8-bit sound dead? I'd really like a 16-bit thingy with the ability

Have you heard what can be done with 8-bit sound? It's perfectly good, and
to be perfectly honest, I've never heard any 16-bit sound that's any better
than good 8-biy stuff. Look at the expensive 16-bit PC soundcards - _all_ of
them have 8-bit soundblaster emulation (or whatever) and _very few_ (even
new) pieces of s/w actually use the top sound cards with 16-bit sound -
there's the odd purpose written module, but not very many.

Sounds good. Trouble is, that'll set you back about L3,000 on its own :-(
