It does work, and de-orbiting it will break morse(6), the "-p" option in particular. Is this a great loss? I doubt it; Its a cute hack. I reckon morse could stand learning how to inject sounds into /dev/audio anyway. > Is anybody using it these days for anything? If not, I'd propose we > de-orbit it before 13.

The spkr driver
Greetings, I'd like to retire the spkr driver. It was a cute hack before sound cards were ubiquitous, but it's not been kept up to date, and it's not clear that it still works It is still Giant locked, and though it's not a huge effort to do the locking I literally have no way to test it that I trust... Is anybody using it these days for anything? If not, I'd propose we de-orbit it before 13. If so, I need people to test patches to remove Giant...
