Mind you, I'm as "pirate" as average you, but people here costantly trying to *defend* it, I can't tolerate. And I'm a big fan of free software and Stallman's doctrine (a little less of himself), but I see lot of people trying to read it as the bible, and especially trying to extend it to totally unrelated fields.
1) Audio processing 2) Higher quality audio circuitry
I was thinking, today that could be easily done by the GPU in the video card, even cheaper, integrated ones. Considering that audio con be output digitally through HDMI, maybe for some setups the analog circuitry does not even belong to the computer anymore.
One way to make your old car run better is to look up the price of a new model.
