None of the linux audio DSP software will run on DSP hardware as far as I
know. Converting the stuff we write to DSP code is a significant effort,
and just not worth it IMHO. Buy a faster CPU :) Given the price perfomance
of modern x86 chips you probably get more bang for your buck that way
anyway.
