I'm submitting the following self-review case on my own behalf.  Minor
binding is requested.  Its possible that this could be handled as a simple
bug fix, but I'm not sure if there was ever a case that supplied the the
file.  (It looks like this was intended to be removed as part of
LSARC 2000/257, but it isn't clear.)

This case just makes it explicit: I'm removing the stale file.

Requested Binding: Patch

Problem
-------

The legacy sample.au file on Solaris systems is about 300K.  The audio itself
refers to the long since EOF'd "audiotool" application (see LSARC 2000/257),
and also makes reference to the old Sun microphone (which apparently had a
battery that lasted about 210 hours.)

The full path to the file is /usr/demo/SOUND/sounds/sample.au

Solution
--------

This file should just be removed, it serves no purpose, and if people are
actually listening to it, it may lead to confusion.  Perhaps worse, it wastes
about 300K of disk space, and the Live CD distributions are struggling with
space requirements (so this helps them!)
