[comp.arch] NeXt and sound

	I'm curious about what kinds of uses people will see for the
sound capabilities of NeXt.  It goes lightyears beyond anything else
that has come out since it has 2-channel 16-bit D-A converters, M56001
signal processing chip, 8-bit A-D converters (but you can attach a 
CD, RDAT or PCM unit to serve as outboard converters since it uses the
AES standard).  Computer music people are very excited about it, but
I also imagine that there will be lots of interesting applications
in DSP etc.
