Something I did caused sound to quit working.  On starting KDE I get an
error about /dev/dsp missing.  It might have been caused by me setting
RC_DEVICE_TARBALL to no in /etc/conf.d/rc, but I set it back to yes
and it didn't help.  Thanks in advance for the help.

Is /etc/init.d/alsasound running?  My /dev/dsp goes away when I stop
alsasound, and it comes back when I restart it...

That was it!  I added it to the default runlevel and problem solved.
I wonder why it was working fine until recently?

THanks!
