   Actually, the //GS has the digitizer/playback hardware as a standard feature,
which is why it's still the best sound machine out there.  Sound cards
do only a few things these days:

   1) Process audio signals to be digitized to remove noise, set proper
      signal levels, etc.
   2) Provide the $3 worth of stuff to have stereo output.
