:actually it assumes so only in one place, the uaudio driver, and this is =
:even a bug which has been fixed in freebsd-7. so i'd say let's sacrifice=
: uaudio (seems our only consumer didn't come back) and make the rest work=
: properly.

The design of the audio stuff does not fill me with confidence.
I really think we need to stick with high level locks just from
a safety and kernel stability point of view, because snafus
will be a lot easier to debug. Our spinlocks are simply not
designed (on purpose) to handle large swaths of code.
