aplay says 'main:447: audio open error: No such file or directory' and amixer says 'Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory', so I'm suspecting that '/usr/share/doc/alsa-base/examples/snddevices' isn't actually being successful at creating the devices I need...

It creates the directory '/dev/snd' which is a symbolic link to '/proc/asound/dev' which is empty. Should that be empty? If not, how do I give it what it needs?

I edited 'snddevices' to change STATIC=0 to STATIC=1, then I ran it again. Now it creates a directory '/dev/snd' which contains 'seq', 'timer', and several files whose names start with 'pcm', 'midi', 'hw', and 'control'. But aplay still gives me the same 'no such file or directory' error, even when I run '/etc/init.d/alsa restart'.

What devices need to exist, and why aren't they being created?

(By the way -- the kernel I'm using, from the package 'kernel-image-2.4.19-686', supports devfs but I'm not using it. Could this be affecting the problem?)
