  Try looking in the back of the IRIS-4D System Administrators Reference Manual
Section 1M -Section 7  in the special files section under AUDIO(7)  The
description is somewhat terse and lacking in examples but there is something
there.
  Now if SGI would only document the AUDIO channel on my 4D50 processor card...
