I wish it were.  Apple needs to get some DSP stuff into the mac ASAP.

The '.DSP' driver is the ADSP (Apple Data Stream Protocol) driver. ADSP
is a connection protocol which supports a full-duplex byte stream transfer
between two sockets.  It's pretty easy to use and is getting more and
more popular all the time. You've probably seen it in Retrospect Remote,
or Flash or one of those kinds of programs.  It's documented in Inside Appletalk
and in Inside Mac VI.
