 Well, I had it fail (ie not work with getoptr) with 3.0 on my USB
 sound card too, but only on a few videos (always the same ones,
 hopefully).
 
 Since we now know that this PR is NOT about auich(4) but more general,
 it sounds like a good idea to rename it.
 
 
 I also ran additional tests, I compared the output of "audioctl -a"
 with 2.1 and 3.0 when playing the same video, one which doesn't work
 with 3.0.
 
 2.1 says:

 diff points out that :
 - play.error=3D1
 - play.samples is huge
 - lowat (what is it ?) changed from 4 to 5
