More testing with vat4.0b1a and guspnp4. Switching audio among
active vats doesn't work. When you switch focus to an alternate
vat it fails to grab the audio device and you end up with repeated
diagnostic messages

            failed to set non-block mode for /dev/audio 9

Later today, when tuned to Stanford's TV Channel on the MBONE, I
actually got vat to freeze. The UV meter froze and none of Vat's
buttoms would respond. The audio kept repeating forever the last few
seconds of audio, in this case the phrase "frankly Stanford can have
a bigger lead on this one". I don't think this was a loop on the audio
device but rather on Vat's Controller::audio... either it is stuck
in a write loop or on a loop getting read acknowledges that trigger
the repeated writes.

Earlier, I received today's Berkeley Multimedia Seminar by and large
ok, there were problems with the MBONE that I think masked the other
problems that I kept seeing with the sound driver, ie., background
static/distortion.
