But this is wildly different from the other documents and what's even
weirder is the fact that Locksnd() can be called only if bit 2 of _SND
is set. My documentation says that bit 2 is "DMA Record with XBIOS"
which kinda makes sense to check before calling an XBIOS call (Locksnd).
But if your documentation is to be correct then why would anyone check
for 16-bit CODEC before calling Locksnd()? That just doesn't make any
sense.
