the soundbite has 4 stereo ins and 4 stereo outs (1 of each is optical or
analogue), comes with a USB link and pretty much everything you need to
get rolling with DSP.

oh, and it's small somthing 100mm x 100mm, maybe a little smaller.
I plan to put this inside a case for my QiX project along with a coldfire
eval board.
Only hardware I'll be building is MIDI, board ineterconnect (SPI) ad a
front panel (connected via serial link to coldfire).
Like you say, why renvent the wheel?
