My goal is a 6 sq in board.  *Including* the network connector,
audio out connectors, PoE converter and audio amp.  I.e., you
*have* to go SoC to get that small.

Can't offer you any help there.  I stopped chasing FBSD back around
2.2.6 (?) -- though I *started* with 0.9!

I have longer term goals -- else I would just shell out cash for
an Audiotron or similar (trade money for time).  I.e., I'd like
my BoM to be ~25 in tiny lot sizes.
