The AAV11-C is an analog output board and I know of no code for it as it 
was usually part of a user application.
Same for its complementing Analog input board  ADV-11 M8000 and in 
systemss ussually appered with M6010
digital output card, IBV-11 M7954 instrument bus interface.  See MINC-11 
systems for more.

The sound (not music) card was actually a internally built and not sold 
(that I know of).  But people did use the D/A
cards to do music by outputting in real time created waveforms or by 
toggling bits on parallel cards.
