Yeah, I didn't like the thought of giving up another slot for something already
built in but I tried EVERY combination of card / settings I could (all the way to
"wiping" the /etc/config.modules file and rebooting between attempts) and the best I
got was a distorted and unintelligible sound file. BTW how does one restart /
reset the configs short of rebooting?
