+        * sound.c (vox_configure): Change order of ioctls.  Don't
+        set SNDCTL_DSP_SPEED from bps, don't set SNDCTL_DSP_SAMPLESIZE.
+        Ignore errors when changing volume.
+        (vox_close): Don't reset the device.
+
         * process.c (read_process_output): Make sure the process marker's
         position is valid when the process buffer is changed in
         after-change functions.  W3 does that.
