Not for me...  The screen is garbled when it wakes.  Unfortunately, I have
to boot into WinCE to fix the problem, which requires pulling out the
battery.

crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel  48, 128 Apr  5 11:58 /dev/audio0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel  48, 192 Mar 25 12:31 /dev/audioctl0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel  48,  16 Mar 25 12:31 /dev/mixer0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel  48,   0 Apr  5 11:56 /dev/sound0

play works fine for me...  As does audioplay.
