MCSI breakthrough

[Rafael Diniz]

Hi Mychaela,

Thanks for the support. I prefer first to have the speaker and Mic
you'll provide us working fine here. As a later experimentation, I'd
like to try to match the impedance of the sound card with the fcdev3b
audio I/O and may be add a switch to change between official mic/speaker
and AUX audio I/O. Just ideas for now.

Cheers,
Rafael Diniz
