Couldn't someone steal the basics of how to deal with the chip from this
driver (once again, how is it that the Linux folks get documentation on these
chips/subsystems that lets them write drivers?)?

I'd like to build a complete set of MBONE tools for general distribution
(for NetBSD/SPARC, NetBSD/i386 and NetBSD/Mac68K), but not knowing whether
or not the audio bits work - on the SPARCstation, at least - is one thing
that stymies me.
