It is a tad bit confusing, but it actually says to do one or the other depending on the output of the ``cat /dev/sndstat''. Basically if /dev/sndstat returns pcm0, do MAKEDEV snd0. If it returns pcm1, do MAKEDEV snd1. This just has to do with how the kernel assigns devices numbers to the sound device. IIRC it used to be that pcm0 was reserved for ISA devices, so PCI sound devices would be pcm1. I don't think that is true anymore though. --- Christopher Shumway cshumway@titan-project.org cshumway@freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
