	I'm looking at the specs of various capacitors on mouser and I see SMD, axial 
leaded, radial leaded, low impendence, low leakage....?? Does it matter what 
type I get for this application? The article only specifies 35v, 22uF 
capacitors. I need to get this stuff ordered, I just want to make sure I get 
exactly the right stuff so I don't toast my headset or soundcard.

	Man, I wish  I knew of a place around here that threw away that kind of 
stuff!
