Long ago, a program was published in Nibble that did 1-bit (!)
sampling and playback.  The sound quality was barely intelligible
(especially for voice), but I put together a talking math-drill
program on a IIe that used these routines.  (It was put together for a
Scout project...the other kids were floored when they found out that
my program TALKED! :-) )
