Hmm. There are sound cards using AMD DSP's out there. Any pre-existing 
support for a FreeBSD interface to such a DSP?

Was there an AMD DSP on the GUS? Or was it so embedded that one 
couldn't directly get to it?

We jest, only slightly, about soft decoding. There are those who are 
doing exactly that in Amateur Packet Radio using only soundcards and 
software. 1200 baud FSK, 9600 baud GMSK.
