[sdiy] FPGA digital audio

[harry]

Hmmm... with the price of the chips I'd go with a bigger one and let
the router do it. Like PCBs... there is no doubt that a careful hand design
would outperform it. Computers are persistant, but not clever.

Another rule is don't fill the chip. I started at 65% with the initial
design and
went to 70%... now that it works.
