high pitched whine, even when car out of gear. ...help?

I have a 92 900s. The car has been developing a louder and louder very high pitched whining sound recently. The pitch and volume of the whine are directly related to engine RPM. It happens just the same if I am in gear, or out of gear, so I figure its not the transmission.
Based on a little poking through archives, I get the impression it might be the AC compressor making the noise? I havent had the time to pull off the AC belt yet to see if that makes it stop, but that could be an easy check for that.
Having my gf sit in the car and rev the engine, it sounds like its coming from the front of the engine (... er, the side where all the drive belts are :P ) But I couldnt localize it too well. I didnt try the screwdriver test (ear to driver on various parts) because I wasnt at my house at the time.
any ideas?
thanks in advance ... dave
