Now a strace put me in the right direction:

dsnoop.conf defines 'device=$DEV' It seems that $DEV is somewhere
defined as /dev/snd, but the directory /dev/snd does not exist on my
system. All relevant files are in the /dev directory, that is,
/dev/control0, /dev/dsp, /dev/mixer etc.
How and where can I configure alsa to read from the valid directory?
