okay, i've done some stracing, and it looks a lot like nasd isn't
actually _doing_ anything when it gets the command.  i've put strace
output below.  i had debug set to 9, so the output's a little messy.
but i don't see any ioctl calls that represent the "set device 1 gain 50"
operation i did with auctl.  (note:  i currently have the daemon
set to release the device.  it doesn't work either way.)

anyone else seen this type of thing?
