Editorial comment: The heading of 2.2 sounds odd to me to use the terms
'Speech' and 'Throughput'. All the provisions 2.2 A through F seem to use
the term 'audio output', so I think it would make the standards more
intuitive to use the term 'audio output'. I suppose 'throughput' could
stay if that is left over from 255, and/or if we are including components
that process the audio. The TPs really only talk about the audio
connections and volume - nothing about microphones, inputs, or even the
term throughput.
