I'm running CURRENT cvsup'ed recently.  I've just started to get sound
working and I don't really understand devfs and how it works.  When I
use mplayer it tells me  it can't find /dev/dsp.  Now I can kldload
the appropriate sound card driver module (I have a Creative 5880
AudioPCI adapter) and it always worked splendidly under stable.

So there are really 2 questions:

1  What is /dev/dsp and how do I make it exist?
and
2  How can I get a deeper understanding of devfs, beyond the man
pages?

I'd really appreciate it if you'd copy me, as I'm not subscribed to
this list.
