okay ..

hello there.

This is normal ...

Try modifying /dev/MAKEDEV's snd* section and comment out the lines
# if [ $unit = "0" ] ; then <-- this one
ln -fs mixer$unit mixer <-- leave these
ln -fs sequencer$unit sequencer
ln -fs dsp$unit dsp
ln -fs audio$unit audio
ln -fs dspW$unit dspW
ln -fs music$unit music
ln -fs pss$unit pss
# fi <-- this one

This is normal with the pcm driver. Unit 0 is statically reserved, but
PnP automatically reserves out the next two higher numbers, in this case 1
and 2. Making the above change to MAKEDEV then running
/dev/MAKEDEV snd1
will make the symlinks right. Your hint of the problem is that if you do
cat file > /dev/audio
you'll get some log message about
pcm0: are you sure you don't mean pcm1?
