That's because there is no *actual* /dev/snd0. Making snd0
actually creates several *other* devices, namely (from
/dev/MAKDEV):

As you can see from the mknod lines (above) there are several
devices created, but none are named snd0. They are mixer0,
sequencer0, midi0, etc. The 0 corresponds to the card - if
you had two cards it would be sh MAKEDEV snd1 and it would
create mixer1, sequencer1, etc. Get the picture?
