Hmm, I'm a little skeptical on those numbers. Maybe I'm not remembering my
sample rates to data space conversion, but I am pretty sure that (with modern
compression routines) 1 minute <> 10Mb, so 5 seconds <> 800Kb. After all, if
your numbers are right, how can a DiscMan provide a *10* second buffer on a
portable unit?
