Please run % cat /dev/sndstat % ls -l /dev/dsp0 /dev/dsp0.0 The reason you are not seeing them with 'ls /dev/dsp*' is because devfs is creating the nodes when they are open(2)'ed. Using shell globbing will search the output of readdir(2) for matches to dsp* where devfs has no way of dynamically creating nodes (which ones should it create anyway?) This is a FAQ really. Cheers, Ulrich Spoerlein -- It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak, and remove all doubt.
