Count me as interested!

Martin, you gave us the -8 option did you not? How about a -6 option so
we can squeeze the data over the bus?  Think SNR will be degraded too
much in that case?

Disclaimer: I know nothing about verilog/FPGA, and may have just asked a
very stupid question. 8 bits sounds like a nice number, and 6 sounds
less than convenient, but maybe it doesn't matter if it is truly a bit
stream?
