Thanks for testing.  Why handroll things if a base tool does the whole
dance correctly, incl. ownership and permissions?

Not intended, but nice to have:  aucat(1) also fails whether sndiod(8)
runs and/or the cookie actually works, i.e. 'rcctl start spotifyd' would
fail if sound isn't set up properly, which 'mkdir && dd' does not.
