That doesn't exist. The device files you need are made by a utility
that alsa supply (called snddevices?). What you need is to load
the drivers. If you don't want to do it by hand, you have to edit
conf.modules and let the kmod daemon do it for you.

It sounds like you need to read the instructions again!

Here is an appropriate module structure (minus the oss stuff)

snd-ens1371             8808   0
snd-pcm                28000   0  [snd-ens1371]
snd-timer               7304   0  [snd-pcm]
snd-rawmidi             8152   0  [snd-ens1371]
snd-seq-device          2796   0  [snd-rawmidi]
snd-ac97-codec         22256   0  [snd-ens1371]
snd-mixer              22180   0  [snd-ens1371 snd-ac97-codec]
snd                    32504   0  [snd-ens1371 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-ac97-codec snd-mixer]
soundcore               2040   6  [snd]

And here is the conf.modules business that corresponds:

# ALSA sound settings
alias char-major-116 snd
# ALSA portion
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-ens1371
# OSS/Free portion
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
