I looked at ARINC years ago.  Can't remember any specs.
I'm talking about a serial bus easily interfaced to DSP chips, capable of
carrying many tens of audio channels on a single serial bus.  Most likely in
the 100's of megabits per second range.

Low power, low wire count, like less than ten.  That sort of thing.
