Good point. Anything that's audio signal processing ought to be a
mine field.

What's cute is that they say they were still making design changes a
month ago, yet they predict to start shipping this month. It's not
entirely impossible, e.g., if they plan to ship some pre-MP devices
they made or if the changes are really really small and can be done
on the fly, but still sounds a little odd.
