The 24V may be a problem as far as cheap modules go. Somebody suggested a
National buck regulator chip; that might be the best way to go. Also, check
out TI. They used to make regulators that looked like large DIPs that
included the inductor. For audio, you will want the switching frequency to
be above 100 KHz.
