We use the Sound Source at home for the kids. It produces reasonably
good sounds, music, voice,  etc. Has a jack for headphones or
external stereo. Sounds like 8-bit digitization to me. Connects to
the parallel port as a parasite. I don't know of any programming
support or information for it, and it is only supported by Disney's
games. For those, it is the cat's meow. 

p.s I also own a soundblaster, an MPU-401 (a real one), and a
MIDI studio.
