No.  Audio does not belong in X and I actually never even suspected that
there was an audio extension for X until I heard people on this list complain
that Classic X terminals don't have it.  Spoiled kids! :-)

I think it's a low-power CPU like other PowerPCs I have worked with, but
I don't see any problem with putting a little fan in the box.  My goal is
not to have a fanless box on my desk, but an OSless one, or more precisely
without a user-accessible OS that needs system administration.
