The Amiga can't sample an input sound given the basic machine, however it has
the ability to playback sampled sounds once you figure how to get the
sampled data into the machine.  Right now, I have to use a s-100 machine
that does know how to sample to do this.  I expect it won't be too long before
it can be done directly with the Amiga once a simple ADC board is available
for it.

Offhand, I don't know about what kind of output filtering the Amiga has,
though it certainly sounds better than the raw 8-bit DAC output I'm using
with my s-100 system.
