REPLY:

I agree 100%. But they do take up a good chunk of processing power to
do so. The Edge board will also do the samples but at a much reduce
overhead cost to your processor. With many of todays games they have to
use FM sound during gameplay to ensure good game speed. With the Edge
they should be able to use wav sounds just as easily as fm sounds. So I
expect great car sounds in future realeses, actual ones to be exact.
