I just did some research in the w20 cluster. On the sparc 5s (w20-575-23, -26,
and -28) that were free, modinfo reported that there was no audiocs driver
loaded, and ls that there was no /dev/audio or audioctl.
I loaded the audiocs driver with add_drv on both of them and ran audlinks
and /dev/audio then worked fine (this is what I did on portnoy after
removing the driver and rebooting). I then rebooted these 3 workstations,
and unlike portnoy, their /dev/audio continued to work.
This would tend to imply some other sort of subtle problem, probably
related, but perhaps not?
