Check out /dev/snd/ if you're using alsa, and /dev/sound/ no matter what
you're using.
With devfs, /dev/dsp is almost always a symlink to /dev/sound/dsp...
FWIW, it seems devfs is on its way out. I gave it a shot here on my
laptop and have been sorely disappointed in it. I see no advantages and
plenty of disadvantages.
