[music-dsp] TMS320C2x DSP starter kit fun

[Emerson Tan 95-28046]

Yes, it's quite a stupid kit. But (correct me if i'm wrong),
wasn't it designed for control apps? not for audio apps?
i have the tms320c6701 evm. it's quite powerful, considering
that it's quite expensive! The codec's great! I think it's from
crystal semicon... It's a 48khz stereo codec. The development
tools are also great because I get to program in C rather than
assembly.
