Ideas for a Super Paula:

I thought of improving Paula in two easy (?) ways.
Number one, add some logic to Paula so that you halve
the number of sound channels, but double the frequency
of the D/A conversion. I guess the sound DMA is only capable
of supplying Paula with 56 K words per second, that is
28 K bytes per second for four channels.

Number two, add two 16-bit D/A converters (This may not be
cheap). In this case, you have two 16-bit channels at 28 kHz,
or one at 56 kHz.

This way you will have four modes for Paula:

1. Four  8-bit channels, at 28 kHz
2. Two   8-bit channels, at 56 kHz
3. Two  16-bit channels, at 28 kHz
4. One  16-bit channels, at 56 kHz

Not bad, huh?

Opinions/ideas welcome!
