Hmm.  I thought those were libao API checks.  The Sun audio API is
rather flexible.  There's nothing to preclude setting 3-channel,
27-bit sound.  What the underlying driver and hardware do with this
is anybody's guess, but if they can't handle it, they will presumably
signal an error through the ioctl() return value.

I think I'll get rid of most of the OSS-style checks.
