Has anyone ever tried using the sound chips for a clock?  The way I read the 
hardware reference, you should be able to set up a short (one byte) waveform,
set the sample time, and get an interupt.  The interupt handler would increment
the timer value, reset the sound DMA, and return.  Then, <sample time> later,
you would get another interupt and the process would repeat.

Am I way off base?
