2.6 and /dev/dsp

[Matthias Leopold <bedhead@gmx.net>]

hi

i compiled 2.6.1 on my testing system from the sources from kernel.org. 
seems to work so far (alsa sound module is loaded fine) but there are 
(not unexpectedly) some issues with devices. i compiled devfs support 
into the kernel and started devfsd (like in 2.4.x). result: no /dev/dsp. 
next try was rebooting without starting devfsd, result: ls /dev/dsp 
works, artsd and xmms can't find it anyway. i use debians 
module-init-tools, of course, so there is a /etc/modprobe.devfs. i tried 
it with the default version of /etc/modprobe.conf and with one generated 
by generate-modprobe.conf, no difference. anyone knows what went wrong?

thanks
