what kind of analog devices are we talking about?  ADC/DAC?

it seems like the simplest appproach would be to read() or write()
either a single sample (for slow devices) or a block of samples.  any
prescalers or attenuators, muxes, etc, could be controlled via ioctl()s.

I can send device driver docs on the driver I wrote for our in-house
audio hardware to anyone who's curious.  in retrospect it would've been
smarter to implement an existing API like NetBSD's audio(4) interface or
maybe ALSA or OSS and I may still do that...
