	While I haven't tried it, make sure they're using /dev/cd0c and
not /dev/cd0d (i386ism) I hope you don't have an AppleVision monitor,
because all those controls are handled through ADB or the monitor info
pins, neither of which is supported.

	The driver was just pulled up for 1.5 and AFAIK, you, Bill
Studmend and I are the only three people to try using sound. We both have
Beige G3's (AWACS Screamer) and can neither play or record sound last I
heard.

	If the driver worked right, it would be anything from a 6100 to
below a Digital Audio G3/G4/Laptop. Unless someone knows otherwise, I'd
say it's untested, and known not to work on the AWACS Screamer on a Beige
G3. FWIW, the chipset of the Screamer is Crystal CSA4212-KL.
