my information was that it does not do this for h/w ports.  i've
checked the API again, and I see that it does indeed support other
formats.

i thus remove IRIX from the list of supporting architectures. that
leaves a half dozen plugin systems plus the new Apple OS-X audio
API. i still haven't checked BeOS.

apologies for the error.
