Creating /dev/dsp and dev/audio are kernel configuration options.
Use make xconfig or make menuconfig, which make it easy to "go" back" if
you miss something.

I'm not sure. But something is definitely wrong with xgalaga on my PCI
system as well. There's about a 2-second delay between the first time
I hit the mouse and the first missle launch. Makes it worthless, even
for a game. :) Never had this problem under XF86 on slackware. Now I'm
running Metro-X on Red Hat. Maybe this helps...
