I found it takes a fraction of a second for those to start working
once you feed them audio.  Not usually much of an issue but the
application I had in mind was for a radio studio and the DJ would have
the CD cued up and ready to start instantly when a button was pressed.
the C02 just didn't work right because the first 1/4 second of audio
would get cut off.  I used the one made by HOSA instead and it works
without any noticeable drop out at the start.
