Hi Sam,

I bet a lot of folks would agree with me here - your plan is exactly the way I would
approach it.  Exactly.  If you can get audio into a digital system and then spit it
out and it sounds like it should (i.e. no [or inaudible] alias artifacts), you can
then go about the fun of "messing up" the audio before it comes out.
