I don't know if it's actively wrong, but the "standard" way to do it is to use the script in /dev/ calles MAKEDEV (or something like that.. you'll see it). Run "MAKEDEV audio". You should look in the script to make sure that this is correct. It may have a manpage as well. A word of warning - by default, it makes the devices in your present working directory, so be in /dev/ when you run it :) -Michael
