I use a 2.4.1 kernel with devfs support, and a sblive card.
All alsa modules are loaded, but i have not all /dev/sound and /dev/snd
entries :
[root@agathe guillaume]# lsmod | grep snd
snd-card-emu10k1 2800 0 (unused)
snd-emu10k1 24016 0 [snd-card-emu10k1]

controlC2 controlC5 midiC0D0 pcmC0D0p timer
[root@agathe guillaume]# ls /dev/sound
dmmidi midi00
I have full compatibility with old devices names and alsa perms checked
correctly in /etc/devfsd.conf
REGISTER .* MKOLDCOMPAT
UNREGISTER .* RMOLDCOMPAT
LOOKUP snd MODLOAD ACTION snd
REGISTER sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660
REGISTER snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660
So, what could be wrong ?
BTW, i also have esd starting problems , but i'm not sure it could be
related :
[guillaume@agathe guillaume]$ esd
esd: Failed to fix mode of /tmp/.esd to 1777.
Try -trust to force esd to start.
esd: Esound sound daemon unable to create unix domain socket:
/tmp/.esd/socket
The socket is not accessible by esd.
Exiting...
