- | Been there, done that, didn't work. (nvram: no variable named "volume".)

- Oops; I thought we had added that to the kopt table; we certainly
- discussed it. Sorry, but the setenv in the PROM still works.
- The other responses made me rethink what you were asking about also.
- If you were asking if there is a way to set the volume for programs
- under unix without using the apanel, the answer is no, unless you
- write a program with libaudio to set it (we didn't provide a command
- line interface to apanel).

- Nope; 16 bits per channel (and 16 bits mono also).
