Currently, oss_audio_device objects have a setparameters() method with a
rather silly interface:
oss.setparameters(sample_rate, sample_size, num_channels, format [, emulate])
This is silly because 1) 'sample_size' is implicit in 'format', and 2)
the implementation doesn't actually *use* sample_size for anything -- it
just checks that you have passed in the correct sample size, ie. if you
specify an 8-bit format, you must pass sample_size=8. (This is code
inherited from linuxaudiodev that I never got around to cleaning up.)
In addition to being silly, this is not the documented interface. The
docs don't mention the 'sample_size' argument at all. Presumably the
doc writer realized the silliness and was going to pester me to remove
'sample_size', but never got around to it. (Lot of that going around.)
So, even though we're in a beta cycle, am I allowed to change the code
so it's 1) sensible and 2) consistent with the documentation?

Sure, I'm paranoid... but am I paranoid ENOUGH?
