	It has retained that heritage ;-)  The thing I'm concerned about
is A) will nasd (ausuni) work with these audio devices, and B) I would
think NAS would have to be 'adjusted' to open $AUDIODEV instead of the
currently psuedo-hardcoded device paths...  But if that's all there is to
it, then it seems pretty trivial...
