OK, I tried that, but nothing changed... according to a comment in the
source, the difference between /dev/audio and /dev/sound is that audio
gets set to 8KHz 8-bit mulaw mono each time it's opened, while sound is
left in whatever mode it used to be in. I'm doing an AUDIO_SETINFO,
explicitly setting the device to 22KHz 8-bit linear stereo, so I don't
think it matters which I use...
