I don't know what's going on here.

I can offer three suggestions:

(1) Run with maximum debug verbosity to look for related warnings,  
e.g.: player -d 9 player-pioneer.cfg

(2) Upgrade to Player 2.0.3.  I don't think this will work, but it  
wouldn't hurt to try.

(3) Start instrumenting P2OS::P2OS (in server/drivers/mixed/p2os/ 
p2os.cc) and ConfigFile::ReadDeviceAddr (in libplayercore/ 
configfile.cc) with some printf()s to see if you figure out why the  
gripper and sound interfaces are not being parsed or added correctly.
