did so ... bt didn't help
 there is so /dev/dsp. at least unless i create it manually with the 
snddevices script, wich schounl be unnecessary with devfs.

modules.conf :
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias scsi_hostadapter atp870u
alias eth0 8139too
alias char-major-81 bttv
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-als4000
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-als4000
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L 
>/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S 
>/dev/null 2>&1 || :
alias char-major-195 NVdriver
