Whenever I boot up my laptop, I have /etc/rc.modules manually load the various alsa-oss modules. However, udev does not appear to be getting events and adding devices (e.g. /dev/dsp) for these. When I manually run /sbin/udev_start, the appropriate devices get created. Is this a udev problem or is it caused by the alsa-oss devices not registering correctly with hotplug, etc. (or is it something I might be doing)?
