My Sparc1 (clone (Opus 5000)) plays a little song when it's powering up.. While
it does what it refers to as, an "audio test".

It was very annoying when I fired it up for the first time, at 3 am, and woke
my fiancee up.

A side note.. its really a pity that 1.3 broke the audio..  I used to be able
to play .au files on my old SBPro on the i386. (1.2)  Now I can't use the audio
on either the sun, nor the i386. (newer cards work on the i386)

I need to look into this and send-pr it.. does anyone else have a sparc 1 who
can verify this for me?
