>Description:
Sending an audio file to /dev/audio gives the same response that was
observed before the new audio drivers were integrated. That is, if
sent in the foreground, a pair of interrupts will kill the process;
if in the background, the process is unkillable. Lacking hardware,
I cannot verify whether this is the case with the PAS and SBPro as
well.
>How-To-Repeat:
