If snddevices works for you, then you're very very close to the solution.
I bet on /etc/devfsd.conf ... Do you have audio user and group?
In the original documentation there is audio.audio permissions to the sound 
devices. On my RedHat 7.1 there is no user/group audio/audio. Maybe this is 
the problem?
I know it's frustrating...
It took me a few months to get it running :-) Please send your 
/etc/modules.conf and  /etc/devfsd.conf and I'll do my best to help you...
