Thanks. Things are now working but, unfortunately, I have now idea why or
how! Perhaps you can help answer these questions.

Basically, I started by installing xmms to test whether I could get sound.

I then did the MAKEDEV snd0 as you said. I got a /dev/sndstat, but was I
supposed to get a /dev/snd0 as well? I didn't.

OK, so I rebooted and restarted xmms.

The esound driver seems to work without any adjustments. The OSS output
driver has a device section. Should this be set this to /dev/sndstat?

Basically, my confusion is I was expecting a /dev/snd0 but got a
/dev/sndstat and don't understand what's going on.
