All these questions awaiting answers.

Recently I've seen it stated several times that MEMC has 25.6Mb of
bandwidth to dish out. Where does such an odd number come from? Can
someone explain.

I've just got hold of my first 8 channel sound tracker module. Oh dear...
it almost cripples my A3000. Playing it when in any mode above 12 causes
notes to be lost whenever the mouse is moved. It is at this point that
Amiga owners leap up and tell you how wonderful all their extra hardware
is. Isn't there any way to reduce the CPU requirements of the sound
system? Why isn't it possible to just point VIDC (or should that be MEMC?)
at a sample and say 'play this at so and so speed' ? After all this is
analogous to what happens with the video output, isn't it? Why am I using
so many question marks? Is the answer to all my problems 42?
