	This is all off the top of my head so I may be completely wrong,
but here goes. 90% of mac68k hardware uses some model of the ASC (Apple
sound Chip) different models do different rates and freqs etc. When Apple
moved up to PPC, they switched to a chip they call AWACS
"Screamer" IIRC. Now I belive Apple made the AWACS backward compatable
with ASC by way of the QuickTime "Sound Manager" extension. So it's not
simply a matter of making the right device files and bringing up the audio
drivers from 68k, a whole new driver would have to be written. AFAIK, no
one is working on it/started it; and Apple is the only company to use
this Sound chip explicitly. Anyone know if it's the same chip that
Creative used on SB-16 or SB-16Pro?
	I hate being redundant redundant, but
"there is currently no support, but it wouldn't be hard to add." (Meaning
someone write the driver :-)
