I dug around a bit and found that this is a printf in 
/sys/i386/isa/sound/audio.c, enabled by the
conditional (local.h) ALLOW_SELECT.

Forgot to say that besides the above kernel message
RealAudio works fine here with 2.2-current and a plain GUS (not MAX).

And playing from netscape-3.0b5 also works fine which answers my question:
'have others managed to get sound out of netscape ?' recently posted here.

Now gotta to get my phone answering machine working and post the 
recordings into my mail folder :-)
