For systems without

appropriate device nodes and symbolic links for the

device can be created with the following commands:

Similarly, the device nodes and symbolic links for the

device would be created as follows:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV snd1
.Ed
.Pp
Since the
.Pa /dev/MAKEDEV
utility creates symbolic links that will be used by
many utilities by default,
the device nodes and symbolic links for the
preferred audio device in systems with multiple audio devices
should be created last.
