I was able to compile with just...

device pcm0

...but it does not seem to work fully.  Here is the contents of
/dev/sndstat.

Installed devices:
pcm1: <SoundBlaster 16 4.16> at 0x220 irq 5 dma 1:3
sequencer1: <???> at 0x388 (not functional)

That does not look right and when I start up X with kde it dies whenever I
try to run an application.  I just re-install KDE fresh last night to make
sure it was not a KDE issue.

I ran "sh MAKDEV snd1" and that did not appear to do much.  Then I ran "sh
MAKDEV snd0" just to see if that work.  Neither seemed to correct it.
Here is some info from dmesg.

pcm1 (SB16pnp <Vibra16X> sn 0xffffffff) at 0x220-0x22f irq 5 drq 1 flags
0x13 on isa
pcm0: unit not configured, perhaps you want pcm1 ?

Should I be compiling pcm1?  Should I do a "sh MAKEDEV pcm0" to complete
this?

If you need more info I will gladly provide it.
