With a decent host controller you can sustain 32MB/sec.  Using 16 bit
samples 16MS/s real would fit in 32MB/sec.

There's a transmitter in there too...

We bootstrapped the system by building a transmitter and a receiver at
the same time.  We tested by looping back the partially built
transmitter with the correponding part of the partially built
receiver.  When the first block of each was working, we moved on and
added the next block in the chain to each.  This is the same technique
I would suggest with the port to 2.x.
