I had meant /dev/dsp*, not /dev/pcm, was a typo.  When did they start getting
created on demand?  A kernel from roughly 2 months ago created /dev/dsp0 at load
time, instead of access time, so I was confused this time around.  Running an
actual test, with ogg123, worked.  I don't have speaker output, but I do have
line-out output.  I think the speaker output is a different issue, because I
don't even get the startup chime through the speaker anymore.

Guess long story short, it works well.  Now I just need to get my ass in gear
and get the altivec code done, then my G4 will be nearly 100% complete.
