I played with this a bit just now. I removed the audiocs driver with
rem_drv, per the message from rem_drv, rebooted, and then add_drv'd the
driver again. Then the audio worked (cat /kernel/* > /dev/audio). Then,
I rebooted, just for a sanity check.
Surprise, surprise, it didn't work again. Specifically, there are
lots of ``short write -1 240''s in my console window, and things seem
poor.
I'm reluctant to reinstall without some more information on what's
broken...
