we don't have /dev/audio for mac68k. it's kind of a back-burner project
for me at the moment, tho. i've got some clue as to how the ASC and EASC
chips work, but there are still a few details that need to be worked out
before i fully get what's going on there and can implement the /dev/audio
framework. there is another gentleman, keiki sunigawa (hope i spelled
that correctly) who was also working on it at one point.
either way, tho, you'll get nothing better than a console beep on
ASC-based machines, and nothing more than a click on EASC-based machines
under 1.3.X, and this isn't going to change for 1.4, either. sorry...
later.
