I can't seem to build a kernel with audio devices configured!
In FreeBSD 4.2Release, with either a PCI or ISA sound card,
I have tried various combinations of
    device pcm	(or pcm0 or pcm0 with params)
    device snd	(ditto)
    device sbc
    device sb
    device sbxvi
    device sbmidi
    device opl
and can't get /dev/sequencer (among others) to appear.
dmesg | egrep 'pcm|sb|midi'   announces

    pcm0: <AudioPCI ES1371> port 0x6500-0x653f irq 11 at device 13.0 on pci0

but /dev/{midi,music,pss,sequencer} remain "unconfigured".

I can send stuff through /dev/audio and hear it, but alas, all my
audio software wants /dev/sequencer before anything else!

/dev/sndstat delivers this info:

    FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) May 10 2001 11:38:48
    Installed devices:
    pcm0: <AudioPCI ES1371> at io 0x6500 irq 11 (1p/1r channels duplex)

Neither LINT nor the man pages say whether I should have anything
other than "device pcm" there; the suggestion in LINT is that the
other devices belong with "device snd" which is said to be deprecated.
