[linux-audio-user] not quite so simple.... mandrake 9.0 +devfs help!!

[iriXx]

the other weird thing is i have nothing in /dev/sound except 
/dev/sound/sequencer and /dev/sound/sequencer2....
mdk should have created /dev/sound from my modules.conf yes?...
i dont actually have a device called /dev/sound..... just a directory 
with the two sequencers:

[root at hamish alsa-driver-0.9.0rc5]# ls -l /dev/soun*
total 0
crw-------    1 miriam   audio     14,   1 Jan  1  1970 sequencer
crw-------    1 miriam   audio     14,   8 Jan  1  1970 sequencer2
