Hi list
I'm using kernel 2.6.5 with alsa built in, and programs using oss iface to my sb live internal synth are not working, it's alsa counterparts work well.
!!! I was writing the same email this morning. it turned out I was missing a module, fixed by:
modprobe -v snd-seq-oss
My main alsa setup isn't modular
I put the sequencer emulation on the kernel, check:
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y
I think that particualr setting is just a switch, I have Y there as well yet I have snd-seq-oss (and other alsa modules). I see you have the other ones as Y as well. I personally go with modules because I find it easier to understand/debug - you usually get error messages etc. when you are loading modules, you can recompile modules and insert the new ones without rebooting, you see which modules are loaded (so you know what _should_ be working) etc.
the error message you are getting (/dev/sequencer: No such device or address) means that either the file is not there at all or that there is no driver in the kernel for that particular major/minor numbers.
you see that the file is there, it has correct major minor numbers (same as I have and my /dev/sequencer is working) but you have no idea what kernel thinks about device driver for this device. There is probably some way to figure it out but I don't know how (as I explained I use modules for this purpose).
the problem might be that your /dev/sequencer is a link, sfxload might use it in some funny way... maybe you could try to force sfxload to use the actual file /dev/sound/sequencer or remove the link and use mknode to create /dev/sequencer (with same major/minor numbers as /dev/sound/sequencer has).
