And that's the problem.

MAKEDEV snd0 creates audio0, mixer0, etc. and creates symbolic links called
audio, mixer, etc. pointing to them

MAKEDEV snd1 does the same thing for audio1, mixer1. The symbolic links are
changed, too.

The applications use /dev/audio, /dev/pcm, etc. by default. Afer the second
MAKEDEV, these devices point to /dev/audio1, /dev/pcm1, etc.

According to the output of "cat /dev/sndstat", there's only pcm0 in your
system. In other words, /dev/audio1 are useless.

And that's the reason why the applications complain.

Solution:
sh# cd /dev
sh# MAKEDEV snd0

That creates the devices again (unnceccessary) and fixes the links. After
that, your applications should work.
