Fair enough. And the sound does appear to be working. My question really comes 
down to, where does pcm0 disappear to? I'm just expecting the system log 
messages to reflect the actual devices being attached/detached, so it's kind 
of confusing, is all.

And it shows /dev/pcm0, adding to the confusion.

To reiterate, the install is presently working; but I'm curious as to what's 
going on. That disparity(pcm0 in the messages and /dev/sndstat, dsp 
elsewhere) is what made it take me a little to realise that the sound system 
was actually set up and running.
