Make sure that you do *not* set CONFIG_SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS=y. If this option is set, the dynamic device file assignment like udev becomes mandatory. In version(s) 2.6.X = Dynamic device file minor numbers *IS_NOT* set In version(s) 3.x.x: -- Preclaim OSS device numbers **is_set** -- Dynamic

It's a matter of device number assignment. You can achieve it easily even without udev manually or automatically by some script. For example, in the new case, minor#5 corresponds to /dev/snd/pcmC0D2p: 5: [ 0- 2]: digital audio playback then you need to create a device file like

The minor number assignment _should_ be same if the module loading and initialization order is static, unchanged in different boots. But writing a script for doing the above would be trivial, too... Takashi GOOD! very good :-) Shure thing. Even better if they will repeat even w/dyn. assgn.

When I switched from 2.6 to 3.x I don't run into issues. Btw. there wasn't much difference, it was announced that the step from 2.6 to 3.x isn't such a step as for DE versions, e.g. from GNOME 2 to GNOME 3. I compiled the kernel-rt with the config of the 2.6 kernel and run make oldconfig.
