What's the maximum possible rate of PA_SOFTINT's you can do with
the timer device? I was just trying 14Khz (71 us) with a really
minimal overhead interrupt routine, and it seemed to actually get
called far less often per second.

If 71 us is too fast for PA_SOFTINT, what should I do instead?
Ideally I want to be able to go down to around 30 us (about 30Khz).
