[maemo-developers] Differences between scratchbox and real OS2008 tablets

I installed the maemo-sdk by following the instructions
at  http://linuxuk.blogspot.com/2008/01/installing-os2008-development.html
and  http://www.progbox.co.uk/wordpress/?p=453
and everything seemed fine.  I tried building "Battle for Wesnoth", and 
eventually managed to compile it.  However, when I run it in scratchbox, it 
fails with the error message "could not open pcm device /dev/dsptask/pcm3".  
In the scratchbox, I only see the device /dev/dsp.  My N800 has no /dev/dsp, 
but has /dev/dpstask<n>, /dev/dsptask/pcm3, and so on.

Is there some upgrade that installs the dsptask devices in scratchbox? Or, is 
there some standard way to test libsdl audio programs in scratchbox?
