Hi,

I'm trying to get sound to work with a Ensoniq PCI Audio card.  I
believe it uses the ES1371 chipset, so it's only supported under the
OSS drivers, which I have downloaded a trial copy of.

(I'm using FBSD 3.1)

Unfortunately, I see that /dev/dsp points to /dev/dspstat, which
doesn't exist.  I looked through the /dev/MAKEDEV script and didn't
see where this file gets created.  I also looked briefly though the
generic sound code in /usr/sys/i386/config/snd or where ever it is.  I
didn't find mention of where this dspstat file gets created either.
It doesn't seem to get created under Linux, and I'm not familiar with
it.  I even tried symlinking dsp to dsp0 as under LInux, but that
*really* didn't work!  :)

Can anyone tell me what to do about /dev/dsp and what it should point
to?  Should permissions be open to users, say 755?  And how do I
create /dev/dspstat, or should I symlink dsp to some other device?

Thanks for your help!
