Initial PPC HAS many of the AV features...
besides the GS does not have the sound quality of any Mac 2
with the powerpc to emulate the ensoniq the powerpc mac will have no problem
doing better sound than a GS...
BTW the DSP functions of the AV macs are emulated in the powerpc with a very
minor speed hit.
the low end unit (approx $2000 8/160 pizza box) has svideo out (in I think)
and runs windows like a 486sx 25.  But that takes 16 meg.
It has the ethernet in it also...
Full stereo audio in/out with a new chip set..
What else...
I played on the pizza box version running a 601 at 60Mhz there is also another  
one at 80Mhz in a quadra 800 form factor.
the 60 Mhz is quiet and out runs a 66 Mhz pentium :)
