Hm, interesting idea. I wonder if one of the clauses in the purchase of
the DSP chips is that you must use them in a complete embedded device,
rather than a general-purpose peripheral as you suggest

QuickNet certainly did this with their Windows PhoneJack LineJack, but
interestingly the Linux LineJack had the hardware DSP facility removed
IIRC - I'm guessing the 'open'-ness of Linux just frightened the legal
people :(

Cheers,
