that is auvia... the old ac97 stuff really doesn't do this. The code checks
the "VRA available" bit of the hardware correctly; I looked at the auvia
code as well as the ac97 docs myself, as I'm writing a driver for a different
ac97 board.

audioplay should refuse to play at the wrong rate.

(actually, in the special case of 48000 Hz only AC97 chips, we can get
very low quality 8kHz output cheaply. I'm not sure this is desired.)
