[Coco] Created Audio Cable

[Rick Ulland]

Nice work, new cables FTW.

Some background? On ye olden cassette recorders, the remote was 
traditionally a 2.5 mm(ish) jack connected to a switch on the 
microphone. The only CoCo use case I can think of (outside a cassette 
based word processing or database program) would be a few video games 
that play audio files from the tape during play.

But it is a standard and CoCo does it properly with a floating switch 
(relay) closure not some brand specific solution. My Zoom H2N recorder 
has a remote jack, works fine. So it's safe to misuse if you think up a 
reason.
