although i can't remember the precise details, there
are people at bell labs who have made a digital speaker;
that is, it takes a digital bit stream and converts it directly to sound.
there were a smallish (128? 256?) of elements involved but it
did what they said it would do. i know nopthing about
the scalability...

mind you, these were the same folks that made speakers
from animal stomachs...
