If that's the driver Kurt and I ported, it includes a play (for PCM files),
and a record (also for PCM files) and a few other tidbits.  I have since
written a program that converts NeXT/Sun u-law audio files (both 8 and
16 bit, at many diffrent sample rates).  I am sure it has some bugs, but
it seems to do Ok.
