Why fill a slot if it would be better to fix the motherboard?

If I understand you correctly, that statement is incorrect... The GS
(at least my ROM 1) has one speaker (on the left hand side, under the
power supply). The headphone jack is for a stereo headphone (unlike
the earlier Macs), but the channels aren't distinct (they sound
exactly the same).

Well, to be nitpicky, the GS does have audio input and output. The
sound connector on the GS motherboard has both an input for the
Ensoniq A/D converter, and an output (up to 8 channels).

I agree wholeheartedly!
