Hmm, good thing I didn't try out devfs. I guess this has to wait
until a distro comes out with 2.4.x.

I've been used to using the ALSA drivers for sound support for
every audio card I come across. I just found out lately that the
stock kernel has support for vt82C686 on my MSI-5187 board so I
gave it a shot. After some experimenting with modules.conf, I
came up with the following to make autoloading work:
alias sound via82cxxx_audio
alias sound-slot-0 sound
alias sound-service-0-3 sound
You may need to watch out for "modprobe: Can't locate module
sound-service-0-x" from syslog here when running your audio app,
and add the appropriate lines in modules.conf.
