Please let us hear what they have to say about it .. I think there's 
a lot of generally negative critical opinion about the efficacy of 
ARM for processing-related tasks, and the facts of the matter are 
that an ARM-based machine can do some kick-ass things in the audio 
world .. its not a matter of it needing to be 'the fastest', but 
'fast enough', and especially if you consider the price and 
availability of ARM machinery, there's not much to be said about it: 
it kicks ass.

Soon as I finish gadget_audio for the GP2X, for example, I'm going to 
have 3 new portable effects plugins/synthesis engines sitting on my 
desk for use with my DAW .. for less than half the price of a 
comparable turnkey system.
