It sounds like your sound module is not installed, or udev is not
configured properly. Those missing device files should be created by
udev when the sound module is installed. If you're using alsa, you
can run alsaconf (as root) to determine the correct module, then make
sure it's installed (lsmod or modprobe). I don't know anything about
esd; you'd think it would at least install the sound module, but it's
worth checking.
