Well, cool. So when do we all get to buy them? :-)

I'm interested in it, but I also don't know much DSP at the moment. I'm
thinking the DSP vector generator is a good first project since it's
very "CPU" like in function (just need the DSP for speed). A
single-voice ADPCM encoded sample player should be pretty simple on the
ADSP2181 demo board (the include source for ADPCM)-- expanding it to N
voices would be the interesting part.

I'm just running out of time in the day right now. (Need to get the ESB
Rev. 3 stuff out of the way.)
