I justs spent a couple days getting Luigi's PnP and Sound driver
working on an Ensoniq SoundScape, what a joy.  I ran into some of
the same problems.  To get the /dev/audio0 device do this:
cd /dev
sh MAKEDEV snd

This should create your dev/audio /dev/synth... /dev/music0 etc.

For playing CD's I'm using XMCD, I'd like to use xmmcd but
the motif version just doesn't quite start up.

As for playing .wav and .au files, I'm also interested in this
since I need that ability for network monitoring.
