I've read the list archives on SB128 topics and  tried both the OSS and 
Alsa modules.
But whenever I try to do anything I get a No such device error like so:

frontier:/dev# ls -al dsp
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root            9 Oct  5 02:00 dsp -> /dev/dsp0
frontier:/dev# cat ~/english.au > ./dsp
bash: ./dsp: No such device
frontier:/dev# 

Any ideas what i'm doing wrong to be getting this?

Also
frontier:/dev# cat /dev/sndstat
cat: /dev/sndstat: No such device

frontier:/dev# cat /proc/asound/cards 
0 [card1          ]: AudioPCI - Ensoniq AudioPCI
                     Ensoniq AudioPCI ES1371 at 0xe800, irq 10

frontier:/dev# lsmod

Any ideas?
