Has anybody (even at Atari) thought about how hard (or easy) it would be to
add a second Yamaha sound chip to an ST (perhaps externally, via the cartridge
port with a few additional address wires) to give 6 voices and the possibility
of stereo?  What little fooling around with music I have done suggests that
three voices is just not enough for serious work and 4 is just barely enough.
But 6 would be very useable.
