Indeed, what I was saying is that GM 0.94.1 will start, but you won't
get any sound. 0.96.1 warns you of that.

That directory makes no sense. Some users have reported it existed on
their system, but I wonder why.

You have 2 solutions :
- put a link in /dev/sound to your real soundcard in /dev like it is
done for the mixer
- rm -rf /dev/sound

Yes, because the /dev/sound directory indicates you are using devfs, but
you are not. The system is inconsistent.
