switching at zero cross/noiseless switching

Hi Don, thanks for the input!

I think I should have explained the module better.  It takes one input
and fans it out to one of 4 outputs.  So there's only signal A - there's
nothing at B (C or D) until A is switched there.

Now that would be an interesting circuit to get running!

It should be fun.  This whole quest started as a way to do cheap/simple
4 channel circular location modulation without all the VCAs, quadrature
oscillators, etc.

Thanks for the suggestions!
