I'm finally starting to capture audio data so I can see what happens when a
cycle gets lost or added.

We lost power for a few seconds yesterday.  Here are a few graphs:

(The vertical scale is 16 bit audio rather than volts.)

I'm seeing glitches like this:

The PPS side just keeps ticking along cleanly.  I'm guessing ground problems,
in part because I'm using the mic input because I can't get the audio mux to
switch to line-in.

Any Linux audio wizards here?  If so, please contact me off-list.
