Guaranteed that the Sheeva Plug will some out *very poorly* against a
Quad i7.  The thing has
  no built-in floating point, and runs at only 1.2GHz.

I got USRP support working, and audio-via-USB seems to mostly work,
except that recording doesn't
  appear to be working yet, but the dial_tone.py example now runs.

I dont' currently have a USRP/USRP2 in my posession (have to hike out to
the SBRAC dish to get mine),
  so I can't test the USRP support.

But it's looking promising for low-bandwidth work anyway.
