> How would that help udev to create the relevant special device files?
as seen before, your ALSA devices are present, so it doesn't seem to be an udev problem. ALSA apps don't output sound using device files. cat /proc/asound/cards should list your cards, ls -l /dev/snd/ should show the devices, alsamixer -c 1 should show the controls of your first card, If all is present, I'd try xmms, set it to play via ALSA in the prefs and load a file.
