Its ok.  I was prepared for the responses.  I think the candid
opinions have value, keep em comming.  I'll point Tim at the RME,
Echo, and M-Audio to look at as examples.

Basically OGD1 is a big FPGA board with 256Mb of DDR RAM and some nice
clean high speed analog and digital ouputs.  The question Tim is
asking (audio cluelessness aside) are:

Can the audio community use such a board?
Will they help in producing the feature set and design?
What features would it need?
What would they pay for it?
