Hmm... perhaps it's time I submitted this proposed patch to /dev/MAKDEV:

*** ./MAKEDEV	Sat Aug 29 05:57:15 1998
--- ./MAKEDEV	Sun Sep  6 20:04:24 1998
***************
*** 965,978 ****
  # 33		patmgr1			sequencer2
  #
  
! 	unit=`expr $i : 'snd\(.*\)'`
  	chr=30
  
  	# XXX write this less verbosely, like std
  	snd_security_hole=0	# XXX
  	umask $snd_security_hole
  
! 	if [ $unit = "0" ] ; then
  		ln -fs mixer$unit mixer
  		ln -fs sequencer$unit sequencer
  		ln -fs dsp$unit dsp
--- 965,979 ----
  # 33		patmgr1			sequencer2
  #
  
! 	unit=`expr $i : 'snd\([0-9]*\)'`
! 	default=`expr $i : 'snd[0-9]*\(.*\)'`
  	chr=30
  
  	# XXX write this less verbosely, like std
  	snd_security_hole=0	# XXX
  	umask $snd_security_hole
  
! 	if [ "$default" = "=" ] ; then
  		ln -fs mixer$unit mixer
  		ln -fs sequencer$unit sequencer
  		ln -fs dsp$unit dsp


With this patch, if you 'sh MAKEDEV snd2' (or snd<n>), you just make the
mixer2, etc, devices as usual, but if you add a trailing '=', then it
makes symlinks for mixer, etc, to that newly created device.  So if
you've got a pnp soundcard ends up as snd1, just do 'sh MAKEDEV snd1=',
and the 'default' sound-device links will be made to that card.
