 I noticed my kernel config had both

device pcm   and
device sbc0 @isa ......etc....

I removed the sbc0 line and added 

device sbc 

and it now is detected correctly

HOWEVER

Now my programs cannot access the sound device. Kmidi says "/dev/dsp: Device Not Confiured". Kmixer suggests I change the permissions to /dev/mixer. Kmp3 just core dumps (as is it's habit)

I MADEDEV /dev/snd0

Anything else I am missing?
