There is an excellent paper by David Chappell of NCSU on how to do
this for PCs.  There was a posting about it in
comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware or comp.sys.ibm.ps2.hardware a couple of days
ago.  It's worth reading.  He uses pulse width modulation instead of
pulse amplitude modulation.  I've played the demo and it's pretty
impressive considering the hardware.
