[PD] CV from soundcard

Some experimentation shows:
1) Normal outlets of HDSP must have some DC coupling because continuous
voltage drifts back to 0V over about a second or so.
2) Headphone outlet of HDSP must be truly DC coupled because I can send
continuous control voltage from there to analog synthesizer modules.
3) Range should be 2V peak to peak (I assume that means -2V to +2V,
giving 4 octave range).
Should be possible with other cards which have some properly DC coupled
outputs. I guess MOTU cards should work, as that's that the Volta app is
designed for.
Have fun,
D.
