Both snd.4 and the Handbook tell users to run MAKEDEV on a -CURRENT
system as part of the process to get sound working.  We really need to
update these documents to correctly reflect the procedure for 5.0
(devfs).

 True for snd(4) but not for the Handbook.  I will even say the devfs
 problem is fixed in the Handbook.  Something like:
 
 Note: If you are running FreeBSD 5.0 or later you can safely skip this
 section. These versions use devfs(5) to allocate device nodes
 transparently for the user.
 
 was added where MAKEDEV "appears".

blackend already has the Handbook updated && I've just patched pcm(4) to
