Hi,

This is a little ncurses menu that lets you quickly select the default sndio
audio device (server.device). I wrote it (apparently 3 years ago?!) when
ratchov@ and I were first experimenting with audio device name support in
OpenBSD.

I had initially planned to patch xfce4-mixer to add some kind of selector, but
the code made my head hurt, so I wrote this instead.

The device names in the menu are the same short names you'd see from `sndioctl
-s`. From memory, they are this short due fixed-length array someplace in the
kernel and/or libsndio that would require an ABI bump to make longer. Even so,
I find this works well enough.

Works for you? OK?
