'chancount' never got up to equaling 'maxchans'. As a result, pcm_makelinks() was never called, and one always had to set the sysctl to get the /dev/mixer and other symlinks generated in the DEVFS case. Instead, change the test in pcm_addchan() to call pcm_makelinks() after the first channel is initialized, since the aliases are linked to channel 0. Reviewed by: cg
