Been attempting to see how well the DEVFS works.

Seems that sound devices are being created as follows.

crw-rw----  1 root   games      30,  68 Dec 19 08:49 /dev/audio4
crw-rw----  1 root   games      30,  67 Dec 19 08:49 /dev/dsp4
crw-rw----  1 root   games      30,  69 Dec 19 08:49 /dev/dspW4
crw-rw----  1 root   games      30,  66 Dec 19 08:49 /dev/midi4
crw-rw----  1 root   games      30,  64 Dec 19 08:49 /dev/mixer4
crw-rw----  1 root   games      30,  72 Dec 19 08:49 /dev/music4
crw-rw----  1 root   games      30,  73 Dec 19 08:49 /dev/pss4
crw-rw----  1 root   games      30,  65 Dec 19 08:49 /dev/sequencer4

I have the following in my kernel config:

# Sounds support
controller snd0
device      gus0    at isa? port 0x220 irq 12 drq 1 vector gusintr

#> cat /usr/local/lib/sound/sounds/clink.au > /dev/audio4
su: /dev/audio4: Device not configured

Is this a known deficiency of the DEVFS?
