Will a WaitIO() eat more than one request if they use the same reply
port?  I'm queueing a bunch of writes to the audio device, then for
each one, doing a Wait() on the reply port (so I can detect ^C) and
then a WaitIO().  But I always end up having to ^C out of the loop, so
it looks like some of my replies are getting eaten.

Also, why do DoIO() & SendIO() clear the io_Flags field?  It doesn't
seem like particularly useful behavior (and if they didn't, you
wouldn't need BeginIO).  [It took me a while to figure out why my
flags were getting ignored...]
