Nothing!  But I have some devices that look like sound:

$ ls -l /dev/ds*
ls: /dev/ds*: No such file or directory

$ ls -l /dev/snd*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 24 2005-05-16 12:04 /dev/sndstat
-> /proc/asound/oss/sndstat

/dev/snd:
total 0
crw-rw----  1 root audio 116,  0 2005-05-16 16:31 controlC0
crw-rw----  1 root audio 116, 33 2005-05-16 16:31 timer

$ cat test.wav >/dev/sndstat 
bash: /dev/sndstat: Permission denied

$ cat test.wav >/dev/snd/controlC0 
bash: /dev/snd/controlC0: No such device

$ cat test.wav >/dev/snd/timer 
cat: write error: Invalid argument
