   I have not searched, but are there cheap "mixer" IC's, etc, easily
available for digital audio streams? I was going to suggest some kind of
data switch IC, but I am not familiar with the standard signal levels used,
and did not wish to suggest something that may not work, or even possibly
cause damage. I would rather be safe than sorry until I could do a quick
check with the oscilloscope.
