Thanks for that detailed explanation:  I like the way you use a sound card 
to help with getting the stability right.

Say you have a simple, non-stabilised switcher; then, in a push pull or 
bridge design, a small guard band is needed between each side 
energising/de-energising transition to allow for storage effects, to prevent 
cross-conduction.  This guard band is "filled in" with the output 
capacitance.  This value of capacitance would be a lot smaller than needed 
in a stabilised design.  Of course it does nothing for input ripple.
