Booting the 4.99.19 makes audioctl and mixerctl output things.
Mixer.app and aumix now also work too.
And I get output from mpg321.

That's two things (my video output is also solved in 4.99.x) that makes
netbsd-4 unsuitable as a workstation (on my hardware). Am I really unlucky =
or
is it known that netbsd-4 is not yet ready for "recent" Mac hardware (as=20
a workstation).

TIA,
