Description
I've been trying to get audio working inside a non-global zone.

I shutdown the zone, ran "zoneadm -z knockout" and then
add device
set match=/dev/sound/*
end
commit

and booted the zone.

There is a /dev/sound (and its child nodes) created in the zone, but there are 
no /dev/audio* links created.

This makes it impossible to do any audio operation inside the non-global zone.
Just a note that this used to work but I believe the introduction of Devname might have caused a regression in this area (based on personal experience when I bfu'ed across the build that project integrated into.)  What it appears is that the link generator always used to create symbolic links that pointed to the devices in question before Devname integrated but afterwards, it seems like those links needed to be specified explicitly.
Work Around
halt zone
zonecfg -z zonename
add device
set match=/dev/audio*
end


boot zone
