Good question. The DSP DMA is full duplex, it can record and playback
simultaneously at up to 1MB/sec in each direction. (I.e., 8 channels, 16 bits,
50 khz.) Since you can provide an external clock, and there are a variety of
general purpose I/O bits on the DSP port, I'd say it's pretty easy to slave
a couple Falcons together. However, it's certainly not something that's
explicitly provided for.

Hey man, what's with this signature doctoring, eh???
