Just to add: to solve otherGreg's problem you would probably have to
intercept the audio writes completely without passing them through.  For a
/dev/audio system trapping ioctl() and stat() in addition to the other
calls listed would probably be sufficient, state of the virtual audio
device could be held directly in an audio_info_t.  I have no idea what
would be necessary for stubbing out OSS, but I can't imagine it being much
more difficult.

One thing I have been curious about, though, is how applications being
displayed on Sunrays transmit their audio to the 'rays themselves.
Obviously they're still opening /dev/audio locally, so some funny business
must be going on behind the scenes to redirect it.
