\begin{equation}  \omega_{\rm con} = \frac{ \pi v_{\rm con}}{ \alpha H_c} \, ,  \end{equation}  where $v_{\rm con}$ and $\alpha H_c$ are the MLT convective velocity and mixing length, respectively. Our models use $\alpha = 1.5$. For the burning convective  shells we consider, $H_c \sim r_c$ and we expect waves of low angular degree to be most efficiently excited. The characteristic AM flux carried by these waves is \begin{equation}  \label{eqn:Jwaves}  \dot{J} \sim \frac{\bar{m}}{\bar{\omega}} \dot{E}.
