The latest CVS has the tick-tick-tick recording problem I mentioned
earlier.  No matter what I record, no matter what source, no matter what
mixer settings, all I get is 'tick-tick-tick' in the right channel with
a frequency of 2Hz.  If I turn down the 'Capture' mixer setting the
ticking becomes quieter, but it is not affected by any other mixer
setting.  (I get it with all inputs and outputs muted)

Haven't seen the CVS one do the 3kHz sound thing though.

No?  That seems odd...

I know where it is!  ;)  I'm saying nothing comes out of my speakers
when I put an input there.  (but the fault may be my input -- so ignore
this complaint for now)

BTW, I tried opening /dev/dsp three times (simultaneously) and it
beautifully plays all three!  Neat!

Also, when trying to do full duplex record/play, the PCM output is
affected by a couple of quick scratches on device open.
