Missing pcm0 and speaker devices - what's the best way to
troubleshoot devfs?

1. A month or two ago, /dev/speaker disappeared. Kldstat still says the
speaker.ko module is loaded, but /dev/speaker is missing, and commands like
"beep" no longer produce any output. (/dev/speaker: cannot open for
writing.) However, the speaker can make sound -- it beeps when the machine
loads, or when I do a ^g.
2. About a week ago, the sound card stopped working. It's an M-Audio
Audiophile 24/96. The modules for the card are listed (sound.ko and
snd_envy24 when I do a kldstat, but /dev/pcm0 is missing.
Any idea what's going on here? A reboot seems to cure problem #2 for a
little while, then it breaks itself again. dmesg offers no clues.
