Whether it exists or not is completely up to how this device is initialized.. For example: an output of ls -la /dev/hda* on mymachine (partial) brw------- 1 wolf disk 3, 0 Apr 11 09:25 /dev/hda brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 1 Apr 11 09:25 /dev/hda1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 10 Apr 11 09:25 /dev/hda10 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 11 Apr 11 09:25 /dev/hda11 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 12 Apr 11 09:25 /dev/hda12 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 13 Apr 11 09:25 /dev/hda13 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 14 Apr 11 09:25 /dev/hda14 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 15 Apr 11 09:25 /dev/hda15 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 16 Apr 11 09:25 /dev/hda16 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 17 Apr 11 09:25 /dev/hda17 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 18 Apr 11 09:25 /dev/hda18 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 19 Apr 11 09:25 /dev/hda19 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 2 Apr 11 09:25 /dev/hda2 Now, there's only one /dev/hda on my machine, as it's a dvd player. So, the rest can be eliminated, but I don't:P /dev/dsp is the same way. it is created at setup. HOW it's initialized is completely and totally up to the sound driver itself.
