This is what happens when you read the instruction for 3.x and are
using 4.x. It is pci and on 4.x you only need "device pcm". Then, you
./MAKEDEV snd0, to finish making all of the links you need. Since it
has recognized it, you might get away with just the MAKEDEV of snd0
but I wouldn't bet on it. See man pcm for details.
