[SunRescue] Thought on SPARC MP3 player.

[Joshua D. Boyd]

Are those netra's PCI?  If so, shouldn't be too hard.  Yep.  According to
the Sun web site it has a PCI slot.  So, you can either run linux on the
thing, or research what the simplest PCI sound card is and write your own
solaris driver.  I think some of the older Creative Labs cards (PC128
maybe?) are really simple.  The PC512 and Live cards aren't simple by any
means.
