Scott Ananian asks about these devices:

/* drivers/sound/soundconfig.h */
#define SND_DEV_DSP16 5 /* Like /dev/dsp but 16 bits/sample */
#define SND_DEV_AWFM 7 /* Reserved */
#define SND_DEV_SNDPROC 9 /* /dev/sndproc for programmable devices */

Like it says, SND_DEV_DSP16 is just like /dev/dsp but returns 16 bits
per sample. Or so I believe from lightly scanning the code.

SND_DEV_AWFM is not used.

SND_DEV_SNDPROC is not used either.

I think minor #5 needs to be registered and needs a standard filename.
