How long is your audio track? The 20 second sound recorders sold by RadioShack are simple to hack for this as well if you are looking for a cheaper solution to use with an existing amplifier.
Actually, when properly modified they are just fine. They use the same chip as any other chip-based recorder. You just need to run line-level right into it bypassing the mic and then take the output to an amplifier.
Personally, I now prefer the AP8 since it has an onboard amp and no mods needed.
They do not carry the amplified speaker that is listed.
As I mentioned, I took the hack a step further and bypassed using the speaker as a mic and ran a line input straight into it.
The Ebay listing looks like a nice board but not much info. Is all of the I/O through USB? Doesn't really say but that would be nice. Doesn't mention drivers or software with it.
The AP8 is triggered serially so it would require some sort of controller. If all you are doing is sound it would probably be overkill. Now sound with prop activation and or lighting is another story...
