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.
