   You can see that the device is loaded under number 26 (Off field).

   Just change MAJOR=25 to MAJOR=26 in the MAKEDEV script of audiosrc11.

This is the wrong recipe.

Rather, the mknod should be executed from the post-installation
script. One of the parameters this script gets is the major device
number allocated. Remember, people might have modload'ed some IP
filter or a strange filesystem or another driver first, in which case
you would get 27 or 28 or or 29 or 35 or...

   Yes, me. Well, rather trying than working.
   Wrote a hardware driver for the audio device, which isn't working yet....

OH!!

You are the third one who confesses this.
