in the /dev directory. Also cover this driver's quirky relationship with the MAKEDEV script.

Each symbolic link refers to a device node of the same name,
|
||||
but with a unit number appended.
|
||||
The unit number for each device matches the unit number of the
|
||||
device probed at boot time.
|
||||
Device probe messages can be examined with the
|
||||
.Xr dmesg 8
|
||||
utility.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
All the appropriate device nodes and symbolic links
|
||||
for the
|
||||
.Ql pcm0
|
||||
device would created with the following commands:
|
||||
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||||
cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV snd0
|
||||
.Ed
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Similarly, the device nodes and symbolic links for the
|
||||
.Ql pcm1
|
||||
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.
