Sorry, but that information is wrong.  The Microsoft Sound Board
does NOT have an AD DSP on it.  It DOES have an AD codec on it.  All
this is is a stereo A/D,D/A pair.  Analog Devices HAS announced that
it will have one of its DSP's on an upcoming sound board by
ECHO Speech Corp, with a number of algorithms on it including
speech compression DOLBY XA, as well as ad-lib combatible music
synthesis and speech recognition..

Also, the current SB16 does NOT have a programmable DSP on board.
