I was poking through a product overview on crystal semiconductors web site, and
came across the phrase:

420 MIPs SLIMD  DSP 

What does SLIMD mean?

Oh, the URL in question is:
http://www.cirruslogic.com/design/products/overview/index.cfm?DivisionID=2&SubdivisionID=2&ProductID=42

Apparently in addition to a bunch of incompatible garbage standards, this card
will do MP3 playback in hardware.  I wonder if an AT&T 3210 DSP can do the 
same.  I keep thinking it could be fun to try.
