I've just upgraded a couple machines to DU 3.2D-1 and now find that
Audio File no longer works. When trying to run the server Aaxp, it
reports

    dda can't open /dev/streams/bba, errno message " 2 "

There is no /dev/streams/bba. I would just try and create the device,
but don't know what major,minor numbers to use. The old numbers seem
to have all been remapped in this release. I do have the following in
my kernel definition

    controller bba0 at * vector bbaintr

and see this when booting

    ...
    Digital UNIX V3.2D-1 (Rev. 41); Fri Mar 8 09:29:03 PST 1996
    ...
    bba0 at tc0 slot 7
    ...
    DEC 3000 - M700 system
    Firmware revision: 6.4
    PALcode: OSF version 1.35
    ...

This particular machine is a 3000/700, but I assume 3000/500 and 3000/600
will be the same. Note that I have never been able to get AF to work on
any of our AlphaStations.

How do I get AF working under 3.2D?
