I was using devfs and alsa. it worked great. now I changed to udev like described in
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml.
when I now want to play music (with xmms) it is playing but I hear no sound. first I thought it
was a mixer problem. I ran
Code:
alsamixer
and pumped up all channels. still no sound.
when I run
Code:
ls /dev |grep -i mixer
I get no results.

has someone similar problems?

some other small questions:

is
Code:
hotplug
needed with 2.6 kernel?

what is
Code:
/etc/modules.defs
for?

my /dev/sound directory is emty. so I think its not a permission thing.
I think my problem is that I have no mixer in /dev and I also think that its
because of udev. before I used udeb all worked perfectly.

problem solved :D
reason not found :(

strangely when I used alsamixer the channels were unmuted. on a debian forum I found
someone had the same problem and solved it with gnome-alsamixer. I emerged gnome-alsamixer
and launched it. strangely it showed all channels muted. so I unmuted all and now sound works now fine.
