The move from machine/soundcard.h to sys/soundcard.h was done in 1999
as part of the move from 3.* to 4.0. All 4.* systems have
sys/soundcard.h, and that's where ports should be looking.

This is an error that gcc 2.95 never caught that gcc 3 does. Ports
should not use sys_nerr at all, and should use strerror().
