In response to the speculation that the Sound Source is only a D/A, 
I have been mucking with this a little, and am not fully convinced
that that is all there is to it.  The only chip in it is an ASIC, 
and it would be possible to have some registers in there for more
complex operations.

Granted there may not be such a thing.  Disney is willing to license
code to drive the thing, but they won't give out technical specs
(at least not last time I called).

If anyone can come up with more detailed information than this, 
please post it or e-mail me.  Thanks.
