 That's not really relevant.  It's the same old OSS mixer API vs. NetBSD
 mixer API.  I had checked in code long ago to make AC97 behave better in
 that particular situation (although that introduced some weird
 behaviours in other, much less frequent, situations), and I think it
 eventually found its way to azalia.
 
 Either the NetBSD API gets changed to be stateful and thus have a chance
 to support OSS properly (but that's not ideal either), or a similar hack
 has to be introduced for hdaudio(4).
