You're not going to find that device node unless you have a decoder card 
(the TC400B card from Digium).  My  guess is you don't have one.  I 
thought there was some discussion about changing that from an 'ERROR' to 
a WARNING which is what it really is.  A more descriptive note saying 
something like "no transcoding hardware found, I'll do it in software" 
or whatever might be more meaningful.
