My SB16 'works' under -current.  However, the sound output is awful, to put
it bluntly.  And I cannot get it to read too well, either.  The biggest
problem is a lack of tools that can use the audio.  I have been doing
everything by redirecting /dev/audio.  Anyone know how to use the sound
system more effectively?

I think my symptom is the same as the gent who has his sound 'all broken
up'.

I find software called 'VOXware', NAS, rplay, play, xmmixer, and stuff like
that, but cannot figure out how to get it to work with my system.
