I believe this may be related to the same problem that happened in ALSA
when a "fix" was applied to the driver that made full duplex work. Quake
opens the sound port as O_RDWR, when it just needs O_WRONLY, and some
sound cards (like my GUS classic) can't do 16 bit sampling (only 16 bit
playback), so the initialization fails. I believe the workaround was to
only initialize and open the record channel when it's actually used.
