That looks about right for static device nodes, but I am not certain
as I use devfs. If you use devfs, you will need this in /etc/modules:

alias /dev/snd*         snd-card-0
alias /dev/sound        snd-card-0
alias /dev/sound/mixer  snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/sound/sequencer* snd-seq-oss
alias /dev/sound/dsp*   snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/sound/audio* snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/sound/adsp*  snd-pcm-oss

And this in /etc/devfsd.conf:

LOOKUP  .*  MODLOAD
